Default Holley Air Intake?

Just noticed that my 97 Ram 318 has a Holley Intake Manifold. Did this come standard on the truck, or did someone install it aftermarket?

Some years are marked Holley and some arent. It doesnt flow any better because it has the name "Holley" stamped into it .... however grinding off the air horns and polishing does improve the air flow a bit... I just bought an extra one off ebay for twn bucks to do this with...plus it came with all the sensors and such as a bonus...
