JD, I glass bead the lower intakes I port and it does a great job of cleaning up the intake without scratching it like sand might. The problem is the upper intake has a powder coat or epoxy paint that is REALLY tough. I tried bead blasting it and it just laughed at me. Try some good paint stripper on it first and then clean up with the bead blaster.
