Weird scratches inside inlet pipe o.O

Hello I was installing Mishimoto intake that came in last week and while I was working on it when I took everything off I looked inside of inlet pipe and this is what I see. Anyone else seen this?

Normal. My pipe has the same thing and I have seen it on others. Pretty sure they clean up some of the flashing when they are made and it leaves those marks.

Die grinder marks from cleaning up the casting imperfections.

yep i got em. Have you took off your bumper and looked at the alum bumper support? There's crap everywhere. Metal chips and shavings all over. They didn't bother to clean up the inside. I should've pulled it all out myself, but i left it as well.

Very normal when cleaning castings.

I will take it off once I pull the trigger on intercooler to get it installed.
