Yea... they didn't seem to be there to support anything though, they could have been there to help the intake half release from the cast mold.... but, they might be there to promote a certain flow characteristic. But, looking at the rest of the intake, it's most likely a mistake leftover from when the mold was made. For those kinds of castings, they form a new sand mold for each casting. Looks like there might have been a problem with the mold. Take a look at your intake when you get it off. It might have that same feature.
