 First intake arrived in UK and goes to a happy buddy and 370Z owner, gratz Paul Can't wait for mine! I worked for years in an aluminium casting foundry and am surprised that they didn't even clean the flashing off the parting lines. It only takes a minute and easy to do and cleans up the final product..... |

So it does exist.. Did it come with gaskets or do you have to source those?

Ok so 2k gets you a product that has not been proven to do anything:/. The CF inserts are stickers YOU HAVE to glue on, and it looks as ruff as hell, I'd bet the inside has lips where it was put together and not even smooth :/ UG

to be fair, to remove the parting lines would mean replacing them with grinding/sanding marks. I would probably leave it up to the customer what to do with it from there as well, unless I had an upgrade for full polishing of the entire thing.
I just want to know what they did about the upper to lower gasket. Do they provide a new flat gasket, instruct you to use silicone, or did they machine the flange to accept the factory o-ring type gasket? just curious. |

Hi Charles,
All gaskets are included with the intake, including the TB ones. Sorry, I didn't take pics of the gaskets before shipping it out to the customer, but I'll ask Paul to take some and upload here. Adrian / TORQEN |

I was going to say the same thing. For $2,000 I would fully expect there to be ZERO casting marks. What a joke. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Hey Guys! We decided to leave the casting marks as a company to preserve the natural finish many customers favor. This gives the customer a clean canvas and the opportunity to customize the intake manifold to their specific liking, and best suit their build!
