The complaints are unwarranted. Weve discussed this many times how these intakes were patterned off the original pieces. Even iron intakes are documented as being the same. If it bothers someone you guys should be more than capable of spending a few minutes with a grinder to clean up the ports if desired. But I've ran them right out of the box with no discernable power difference over the iron piece. If you want stock appearance and an aluminum intake it's still the best option going, and they work perfectly fine.

In fact I've had 3 of them in my hands as of recent and I've made over 500hp and almost 600 ft lbs. With them on mild 455's in untouched unported form.

If we were talking about a max effort build I wouldn't even be looking at a dual plane anyway so you have to ask yourself what are we really doing here?
