the renix is really squared off and looks 'gothic' in the architectual sense, long skinny runners and sharp bends.
the HO intakes look like they were designed for the engine, not so square so the intake charge doesn't need to take a 90* from the plenum into the runner.
The 'better than HO' intake is what's in your avatar 95YJman. Intake runners are really curvy and the plenum is right in the center, not running parallel with near-perpendicular intake runners like the older styles of intake.
