Smile LS fabricated intakes
I am looking to buy a LS fabricated intake for my engines.
I found on Ebay two intakes one from Assaults Racing Engines for $800.00
the other is from CGM Motorsports for $1800.00
Does anybody know the difference the two intakes.

Never heard of them... post some links so we don't have to search around and figure it out.

Fabricated LS intakes from random Ebay vendors? What could possibly go wrong?

I think both of those intakes are built at the same place. Look at the map and vacuum connection.

What makes that intake junk? May get one of these and have a local guy look flow test and massage it and test. Cheap for a fabricated intake... ill agree... those who call it just other than saying china crap... its all the same material... used to channel air. Just seeing what yall think

Look at the inside of the intake, look at the entrance to the runners.... having a sharp entrance like that hurts airflow. Ever notice what the turbo and supercharger guys put on the front of the inlets?


You want the air to have smooth curves to flow around. That costs money.
