I have a no-name IDF intake box and the UMP one, both with the integrated velocity stacks. I took a picture with a mechanic's mirror down each velocity stack and was entirely unsurprised to note that the UMP ones are perfect and the Chinese ones are misaligned by 3/16 or so.
China Intake:
(Painted gasket for clarity)
Now, a shot down the velocity stack:
And now, the UMP velocity stack: (I had put a new gasket on with the UMP box, and this picture is actually very pessimistic. Once I trimmed the gasket like the yellow one was, the UMP velocity stack position and diameter was obviously PERFECT)
Just a friendly reminder that the extra money gets you something. _________________ 1974 Chenowth 2RL #1244 Street Legal
