Symbol performance fabricated Intake ? has anyone tried these out or seen one flow tested ? price and pics look nice, but I know pics can be deceiving and you usually get what you pay for

I would appreciate any info that anyone has. im really tossing the idea back and forth but don't want to waste all the money I have put into an efficient boost setup

yeah a buddy just sent me a link to it last week. looks cool, but a few of my friends over on the boosted lsx fb page said the inside did not look very nice (" the intake runners looked all cattywompus" is what was said). lol but I cant find a single person that has actually taken the jump and got one

For anyone wanting a real review on this intake. Here is my review.
Received the intake, 102mm tb and rail kit from them. Looks great out of the box and to someone without a trained eye. Tb looks nice, rails look nice.
As for the intake:
1. Injector bungs are crooked, some are higher than others, thus the rails and injectors fit like crap. Need washers for the brackets and some modifications.
2. The intake manifold flange is warped on both sides. Was checked by a machinist with a precision straight edge. Needs resurfaced to be correct, bit may seal up with the o rings around the ports.
3. The intake runners if you look in from the tb opening are different lengths, some runners stick up into the plenum further than others.
4. Intake would not bolt down to the heads, the bolt holes are off on at least 75% of the holes. Could be fixed with grinding.
Overall its looks nice, until you start installing it. The customer service completely sucks, they answer your call when you wanna buy, but afterwords no luck. Its been several weeks, no answer, no email backs. They claimed on facebook messenger they would have ups pick it up and replace it. Now its a blame game between ups and symbol on whos at fault for the intake not being picked up. My opinion, dont buy it, save your money and buy something that requires no work after you get it.

Even a reworked one from a sponsor came up short a few months ago. Too bad because these look the part on the outside .

Wouldnt ever go though the trouble again, just buy a Fast or MSD Airforce Intake. They just blocked the buyer on there page for asking why there communication sucks. Needless to say, he stuck with a intake that needs tons of work.
