    Help me identify this intake...

    image.jpgSo it was supposed to be a used 94-97 RB intake, doesn't appear to be the case.

    Almost appears to be a knockoff, no racing beat inscription

    There were some cheap RB knockoffs a few years ago. Looks like you found one.

    By the way, it works just as well at the real thing. Just get a new K&N filter, and you'll be all set.

    No, that is a cast piece. The round and square adapters are for 1.8 or 1.6 AFMs.
