While I'm sure it's not disturbing the flow much, wouldn't it make sense to shave off this excess to smooth out the transition? I didn't have time to do it when I did my install but I'm considering it when I take things apart to install my IMG.

Another note: Before I noticed that the TBG's are smaller than the TBS I tightened the nylon plug as far as I felt it would go before rounding off and noticed the plug doesn't end up flush with the inside of the spacer so I squirted some RTV in the hole and tooled it flush. I figured it can only help keep the flow a little bit smoother. Again, probably won't make any real sort of difference but I'm always looking to optimize where possible.


hopefully that sealant wont pull free and get sucked into the intake
