[QUOTE="ODAWG714, post: 449932, member: 7193"] Well back several months ago I ordered me a soot stage 3 intake manifold. One of my powerstroke buddies locally ordered a stage one as well. Both with egr cooler for smog purposes. My order was a stage 3 which includes the throat modifcation cleared out runners and opened up head chambers "velocity stacks". Here's what we got [ATTACH=full]94772[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]94773[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]94774[/ATTACH] Now when I noticed the epoxy holding together it was pretty shocking. I felt this was a joke especially when I saw how it wasn't even cured or hard when flaking it off to get it welded at a buddies shop. After trying to get ahold of soot to see how I can go abouts getting this fixed I said screw it and took it to a buddies welding shop and had him tig it up I paid him 140$ for 3 hrs of his time [ATTACH=full]94775[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]94776[/ATTACH] Well when I go to install the manifold once it was all welded I noticed it wouldnt fit due to the egr cooler being different. The intake was from a 03 and my truck is a 07. The manifolds were both sent back to soot and he said he would take care of it and credit us both shipping. Well we got our intake manifolds last week both together in a small radiator box nice and banged up. I found a crack on mine and took it to my buddy and had him weld the small crack up. I also found one of Matt's welds didn't penetrate after install and found it leaking. So I had to fix that while the part was on my truck.! The intake I received wasn't what I ordered. My order was a stage 3 and what I got was a stage 1. Soot says that he needs epoxy inside to feed the velocity stacks, hmm Bs! Nothing but soot and oil inside the manifold. Looks like someone was in a hurry to get these out instead of sending a good product out. When installing the manifold didn't seal. I had to use silicone to seal the portion under the alternator. After that leak was found I found 3 other leaks on soots welds. I'm personally out 1400$ on junk basically after fixing some buddy's screw ups and getting text messages saying me fixing his 1in crack warped the manifold. I advise everyone to go a different route to avoid this crap. Gains? Only gains I see is a 30 degree egt drop at wot slight less lag and lower boost numbers on wot snaps. I'll post more pics.
