Anyone gutted a 01+ intake manifold?

That's going to happen. It is a very similar setup to Toyota's TVIS system on Toyota's 4AG's and 3SGTE. The reduced intake runner area creates faster air velocity and more torque at lower RPM. Looking at the 01+ manifold, I think it'll offer the best of both worlds. You can open up the plenum volume AND retain the plate system to increase low end torque.
The plates do not offer that much of a restriction. Their cross sectional area does not effect the flow enough to really matter at higher RPM. With a properly designed manifold, you would barely see any top end loss and nice gains in low end torque using a variable runner system.
