I am struggling with how much to shave on mine (wire harness guides are already gone). Part of me wants to shave everything/relocate ports to the rear...but then I have to do something with the ugly fuel rails and crossover. Yours looks like how the factory SHOULD have done it.

It is welded. but not sanded smooth. I need to take it over to dad's house for that.

What did you do about the EGR hole and the purge solenoid hole? Did you weld those up too?

I haven't seen any nnbs/tbss intakes done up so I thought I'd do mine and share the progress
left some of the ribs for structure
3m panel bond
roughed it out and decided to remove pcv and relocate map ports
used the evap port for the map, throttle body bracket will hold it in place
another coat of panel bond
That's all for now until more progress.

Update! I got some more work in on the intake, upon further inspection that white one with skulls on it is a tbss so I have seen one at least.
sealer and paint are next, Hopefully tomorrow.

Here are some videos of some of the abuse that I put it through.

They say that their is. I'm not sure that I'm convinced yet.
I see that their could be potential for more air flow with it's larger TB but if the air flow isn't needed for the particular engine, then their'd be no power gains.
People have made plenty of power with a 78mm TB. Guess it all depends on your engines power goals.

I'm not sure this would actually be testable. Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't gen3's cathedral port heads and gen4's rectangular port? So the two intakes wouldn't even be matched up correctly to the head if you wanted to do a back to back test.

I just realized that I've never looked at a truck intake that came with 6.2L L92 heads square port heads yet.
