that one blade does look broken/chipped unless the light is coincidentally reflecting off it. but i've heard that the notch on the edge of the wheel is there for balance

I got one not too long ago that looked like yours and I thought, man some dips.... dropped it and still packaged for shipping, etc. My neighbor who works on diesel engines for the power company told me that it was from balancing and not to worry...

www.frozenboost.com or www.siliconeintakes.com their prices are the same. as a matter of fact, i think they're the same parts. the layout of the both websites is the same lol one of them copied the other.

At the bottom of each site they list each other and other sites as affiliates.
