Exclamation Greddy FMIC Elbow...casting a lil' off? [PICS]

Noticed this when I put the elbow on and flipped open the throttle plates. So, I made a tracing and noticed this.

I am going to grind it so it matchs...just thought I would point it out.

As much trouble as some of go to gasket match manifolds....every bit counts





Seems like it could use improvement in the lower left corner.

Seems like it should flow almost the same either way....

But if you feel it necessary, go ahead and grind out that lower edge to make it flush.

I dunno....maybe that is a lil to ...picky eh

The only concern is their is not much casting to remove metal...around the area that needs the most improvment.
