If you want to be super careful you can mask off the body of the manifold to make sure you don't slip and scuff the finish around the letters. Any shop should be able to do this for you at very little cost if you're not comfortable doing it yourself.
Yea, I too have done some manifold sanding; I was more pointing out differences in the pictures. I'm guessing the answer is that it isn't sanded, nor is there a plug for the OEM intake considering that is their track car.
