7.3 intake manifold???
 
I've noticed that afe and cfm plus have them kinda pricey but are they worth it?

i didn't notice a difference other then making the engine bay look better, but i also did a ported housing and wastegate at the same time so its hard to tell what did or did not do anything

IMHO... And sorry...

They are worthless. They are the same size as the stock piece, just flashy.

If they were of some different shape or size you might see some room for improvement but not by just making them shiny.

i would say the only advantage would be they are tapped for nos watermeth and things like that. so to me that would be the only reason to buy it. just my 2 cents though
