Default Anyone use Edelbroc intake "knockoffs"?

Anyone use the "Power+Plus" immitation Edelbrock intake manifolds? I have a Vortec Edelbrock Performer and thinking of going with a Power+Plus Air Gap. They claim to be the same as the Edelbrock Air Gap. Any thoughts?

I have a polished version of the knockoff also. It seems to perform well and has kept its shine for three years now.

I have purchased an air gap rpm version from power plus. i am very pleased with the outward appearance. i cannot make an opinion on the performance since i have yet to bust it off yet. still more things to do....
good luck!

Aren't those Power Plus deals made in another country? Just doesn't seem worth the few simoleons you'd save to buy an imported intake for your car. Just my two cents.
