Default Top street performance intake manifold?

What do you guys think of the 102mm intake and throttle body from TSP looks similar to ones with bad reviews. I am mostly interested in it for looks. Just want to make sure it will hold up to forced induction and not be a downgrade. Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks

To me it's a waste of money as the stock intake/throttle body has been proven not to really care what boost you throw at it and still make stupid power.

TSP says it will handle 25psi of boost, so it can work if you wanted it too. It just comes down to the cost of the intake and having to fork over more to get a matching throttle body.

If it won't hurt performance I will probably get it. Its used and comes with throttle body and rails. Just want something I can powdercoat.

^ This right here, best bang for the buck is the TBSS/NNBS intakes. As stated they make stupid power boosted and N/A and a complete setup can be had for far less then an aftermarket intake

I guess everyone sort of read over that. It looks like a nice intake. Go for it!

I would ask how thick the material is?
And is it warrantied again failure do to boost.
If throttle body is in a different location you will need to rework cold pipe.

Already have NNBS intake but they are very unappealing to the eye.

OVERVIEW

Top Street Performance is proud to offer a one-year warranty.
We designed our fabricated aluminum intake manifold to improve the look and performance of your LS engine. It features a 102mm throttle body opening for maximum air flow. The runners are velocity stacked, allowing air to move more smoothly at high velocities. The manifold is constructed of 3.5mm thick T-6061 aluminum and is TIG welded to ensure consistent strength and performance. Individual port o-rings guarantee a good seal with the cylinder heads and throttle body. Available in clear or black anodized finishes, this manifold will also give your engine bay a nice, clean aesthetic.

Quality hand-welding ensures premium build-quality and reliability.
QUALITY CONSTRUCTION

The first thing people notice when taking a closer at our intake manifold is the beautiful TIG (tungsten inert gas) welding throughout - all done by hand. This ensures solid construction that won't fail under stress. The head flanges are 7/16" thick, and the plenum is constructed of 3.5mm T-6061 aluminum, which means it can easily handle up to 25 lbs of boost - more than enough for most street performance applications.

This fabricated aluminum intake manifold features a 102mm throttle body opening for maximum airflow.
INTELLIGENT DESIGN

In addition to the premium build quality, our fabricated manifold includes intelligent design features that set it apart from the rest. A 102mm throttle body opening and velocity-stacked intake runners guarantee maximum airflow for high-horsepower applications, and individual port o-rings ensure a tight seal to your cylinder heads. We've also recently lowered the overall height and added a slight angle to the throttle body opening to allow for fitment in more applications.
