witch one is best?

[Street Ryderz]

So here we have some stock intake variants what do you guys think is best?

 

[Street Ryderz]

We have steel ones on the right and aluminum on the left!

Seems the cast ones are more material/thicker, steel ones will fit in a tighter space. Other than that they all look good.

Here is one of the steel ones after a quick polish.

none are particularly good, but they do the job. the cast one has reasonable flow if you can keep it from cracking

 

[Street Ryderz]

Yes cracking is an issue,especially with bigger carbs as for flow not really true.

I just switched to 40mm intakes - ordered standard steel tubes to have on shelf as repair parts (similar to your 2nd from left) - cheap & get job done

 

[Street Ryderz]

Now look at this and tell me witch one would you want?

 

[Street Ryderz]

Ok i see gary has a clue good on ya brother!

Out of these I like the steel intakes. Stock they have 16.5mm +- ID for the full length of the tube so you can increase carb size up to 16 16 without restriction. You can weld larger tubing at the front to accommodate larger carbs, and hog out the flang to match the jug. The aluminum only has 13.5mm at the carb end.
