if the ports on the intake side are teardrop shaped, then it is non-pi. if they don't look like a teardrop shape on the intake side, it's PI

That intake looks nice. Are you sure it's not metal? Anyway... The heads wouldsay PI if they were.Here's a pic of my heads, you can see how it says "V8" and then to the right "PI":
