They look neat, can make servicing stuff slightly easier.
I am still not convinced that they or their clone from swag performance (I got one sitting on desk for a project and am considering just returning it and using a free stock one) will flow evenly to both heads like the stock design

Keep in mind that the spider is designed the way it is to add additional points of rigidity given that the stock plenums and boots themselves aren't very rigid. If you use plenum inserts or RR plenums this is less of an issue.
Also the air isn't in the spider very long; I'd be surprised if it contributed a statistically significant portion of heat to the air.
I'd say don't bother.

That's what I needed to hear. Thank you guys. I just spent a lot of money on necessary and efficient upgrades so I don't need to waste any money on something that doesn't produce for me. Thanks again!!!!!

If it were natural asperation and throttle body injection that might be an issue with air fuel mixture not getting distributed evenly. Being forced induction and direct injection it shouldn't be. Air downstream of the turbo is under positive pressure, pressure inside the manifold and plenums is equal. Air is going to flow into what ever path it can take.
Having actually seen it now, I think deleting the AIH is a bigger gain than these intake pipes will ever be. Nothing wrong with the stock cast piece so ain't going to replace it. That said if something happened to my stock intake, I'd replace it with these or the knockoffs in a heart beat. If I just wanted bling (and these intakes do look cool), I'd probably be more likely to replace the stock charge pipes first.
