They were not to actual size. However, I have some serious concerns after holding these in my hands... From the design it looks like several things will happen:

1. The rear two cylinders will get a lot of air since the throttle bodies literally open up to them.
2. The front two cylinders are going to starve for air based on what I could see.
3. The bridge design across the back acts as a balance tube. however, it is all squared off with hard 90* edges and lips. This will cause a vortex at the back of the manifold and as the air travels across the balance tube it will worsen as it hits incoming air from the other throttle body.

My fear with this intake is that you will over lean the rear to cylinders and the front two will starve for air relative to the rear two cylinders. I hope its not another kinetix intake manifold.

These are just my impressions from handling the units... it will be interesting to see the flow data.
