Hi, I don't know if this is a gm tpi intake or not that I just did for this one local guy but yeah they are messed up and this one was real old and abused too. Looked like someone beat on top of it with a wrench or something. But I bought these 3" sanding drums where you cut sandpaper of whatever grit you want and put it on the rubber backed wheel. You wrap the paper around the wheel and there is a slot where you put the ends into. Then you lock the ends in with this little tool set up that comes with them. They work great. I do those wheels up to about 600 then I wet sanded till 1500-2000. Then black and the two white bars I bought from here. The intake pipes are a pain in @#%. I really couldn't get in between but I made it look the best I could. Plus his pipes had dents and stuff all in them. Strangly you can't polish deep dents out. LOL. Like I said I don't know if this is a tpi set up because I'm a Ford guy and I usually polish SVT Lightning and Thunderbird SC parts such as blowers, plenums and such. Anyhoot here is a few pics I hope I can post them. Guy was real happy with it too. The pipe pics he gave me 2 sets so I kinda did a before and after shot. I also have alot of pics of Lightning polished parts that I have done too. I hope I'm allowed to post pics here, if not sorry to admin and I won't do it again. I enjoy your forums and don't wanna get the boot. Thanks Kevin
