Steam ports I have a 2006 5.3 L33. I somehow lost my steam tube and while I am replacing it, I was wondering if I should replace it with a factory 4 corner setup. My engine currently has the rear ports blocked off.

Is the four corner setup better? I am also running a TBSS intake of that matters. Thanks in advance for any help or advice!

Don't know if the intake matters (I think not, but that's not the same as "I know") but the best idea would probably be one of the 4-corner kits with flex lines. You could either buy one or piece together your own.
Like the above, I'm sure it's "better" than any stock setup, not sure how much "better" though.

I was thinking a factory setup because it might be less expensive used than a braided setup.
I also wanted to make sure it mattered as the 2 port tube is about $20 where the 4 port is closer to $100
