Default Current options for sheetmetal intakes

Been doing some searching around. I've got a list of sheetmetal intakes that I've seen before but wanted to make sure I'm not missing out on some options. What are all the different sheetmetal intakes available for LS engines at the current time? Thanks in advance.

I've got a Hogan 16 injector version of their LS sheet metal manifold. Great workmanship.

Marcella intakes take a long time ... but well worth the wait.


Beck intakes are about 6 weeks away and are also very impressive.

i waited 5 months for my Marcella and would do it all over again!! Beck whips their intakes out and they look like a child welds them.. Beck's intakes will make some serious power, but if im paying that much for an intake it better look as well as it performs..

Here is the Precision Metal Craft for an LS-7. Welds are awesome. This is the tall version on my LS-7 69 Camaro. They make a shorter version that I believe will fit under the hood of a C6.

I have the slightest idea on how it flows. I have no experience with it other than one being sent to us to plumb. I can tell you that the company was easy to communicate with and it seemed like they had good customer service.
