And 50 bucks is a LITTLE steep. I would pay 30.. but I don't think I can justify 49.00 + shipping.
can these be tig welded?

i was considering getting these sleeve inserts because i have an intake manifold gasket leak, so i thought maybe why not try it since im replacing the gasket anyway? but definatley if i can get them welded i'll post pictures

PR has instructions on how to install them. You just ding/dent the edge of the sleeve, and the insert cannot move. link

Spend the money on exhaust is what Chris from RP told me. He actually talked me out of a street port, which he would have made $400 on. He told me to port the exhaust, and leave the intake alone. I did so and haven't been happier with what I have. I have done everything to keep my car stock spec, but the exhaust porting minus the street porting has done so much, I can't bitch at all. It isn't a turbo, but almost as fast.

thats some odd advice, its usually finding the perfect balance between intake and exhaust. Reffering to the atkins aux port inserts, it seems like this is a proper addition to my fc to go along with a full exhaust setup im currently putting together.

are you driving an s4 or s5?
