Default Radically Ported LS2 Intake - How Loud

Has anybody had their LS2 intake manifold radically ported?

If so, any comments on how loud it became post porting?

I've read that removing the vertical posts inside of the plenum are does make it louder.

I would throw the intake away and purchase a fast. I had my LS3 intake center posts cut out and ported and to be honest there was no sound change. You will notice more from removing the engine cover and air silencer on the factory inlet box.

It’s really hard to beat a ported fast 102 for the LS2. Honestly my best/favorite mod on my 05.

I highly doubt it would make much of a difference and even if it did, you wouldn't be able to notice it.

Vengeance usually does a black friday special, buy the intake and they throw in the porting for free.

That’s the deal that I bought mine with from them. I think it was during the entire month of February though. Believe I paid $900 shipped and ported.
