PP is imitation of rpm11. Uses same gaskets. Rough casting inside. Can be sanded out. Used die grinder and polishing kit on one.

THE PP intake is not a copy of the rpm II but a copy of the original rpm, I just bought the rpm II for my 89 and the casting is a much finner finished product then a PP typhoon, in order for the typhoon to be a bolt on and go deal, it really needs to have the ports /castings cleaned up and ports squared off, it is by far a finsished product, I went with the edelbrack as it was a more finished product, but still can have clean up done to just not as much needed

only reason I bought the eddy was it matched up to the ports on the heads good and I was trying to resolve an issue with the intake lower not sealing, and this past week I had another car in with a tfs intake that was off it and I tried a test fitment of it which was the key reason I decided against it, the ports once I set it on there were sized larger then the edelbrock ports on the heads. I wanted a smooth transition and this whole issue solved, otherwise I'd of went with the tfs set up, don't feel bad, I had a local friend offering me his ported older RPM set up for half the price of new and i turned it down too, as I had spent 2 months here and there trying to solve the issue with the car.
