True, manrel bent would be better and I'm disappointed that didn't happen with the shallower bends, although I understand the cutting with the tighter bends. At least with intakes, the cross section is much larger so airflow isn't as high and hopefully the cuts don't make much difference. I'm mostly interested in weight savings over a steel intake and for me, a good excuse to go back and drill out my radiotor support. Didn't do that for my takedas and that pinch in the silicone tubing probably creates more turbulence then these cuts ever could.
