Different type intake manifold gaskets

What do you think of these intake manifold gaskets? I don’t believe the gas mileage and torque claims, but it does make sense that any liquid fuel that makes it that far might get broke up a little bit. They have a wire mesh screen at the ports.

jegs and summitt have been selling them for years now.

I always wanted to pick up a set, but at the rate I keep going through intake gaskets, I dont think it would be worth it

I never liked those, imagine some of the mesh coming loose....then what. I'm just real cautious when it comes to stuff like that.

It probably could result in less fuel usage just on the basis of restricting the amount your engine can breathe. I don't believe HP/TQ claims for a second.
