cut flanges

[Kev55]

Had to replace one of my intake manifolds so i got one for cheap off this guy on craigslist but it was only until i left that i realized that the flanges were cut off. So i text the guy asking why and he said they are better that way... So Im guessing it was to fit a different reed cage or maybe for porting or something.

 

I haven't install it yet but I wanted to see if anyone else has heard of something like this before? should i take off the other manifold and do the same? or is this guy taking me for a ride and should i just try to get my money back? I mean it was $10 so its really no biggy but still

If your talking about what i think you are, then yes they have to be cut off for v-force reeds.

You mean the stuffers that poke into the reed cages? Sounds like what your talking about. Shouldn't make much difference. I would think you want them to be the same so they flow evenly though. Some reeds you have to cut em off.
