Funny how the website posted the above even tho they were experiencing the below! :roflpuke2:

The website also mentions how great it is for NA applications, but their new mouthpiece says that it's really only for looks.

AAM I would like to see a Dyno video with this Intake Manifold. Also has all the defects been corrected?

Does the black coating also include inside the pipes?

AAM needs better PR reps that don't write checks that their *** can't cash.

You're exactly right, this is the intention of the AAM Competition VQ37 Performance Intake Manifold. Yes, it will work with both NA and FI applications, though it was designed specifically for those seeking big power with big boost.

This manifold was engineered to provide the boosted VQ37 community with a solution that would easily withstand high boost pressures while providing increased flow.

Jake Justice (Owner of EPS Tuning) will be performing independent third-party testing as well. We recently shipped his order, and are anxiously awaiting the results :woot:

Apologies for Mike's lack of communication. He is no longer with the company.

If you have any further questions, I'd be happy to help!

There are no intake pipes included with the purchase of the intake manifold, though we could definitely provide this service for someone who is looking to purchase both the manifold and an AAM Competition twin turbo system or AAM Competition cold air intakes!

All of the previous manufacturing problems have now been resolved. Our engineer worked extensively with the casting manufacturer to ensure the appropriate solutions were put into place.

I'd be happy to try and get a dyno video during some additional testing!

Forced induction numbers have now been posted! NA numbers coming soon, though we do not expect significant gains for non-boosted applications.

For those who have mentioned pricing, there is significant development and ongoing production costs for this product. The process of casting is VERY expensive, but ultimately provides the best construction for our manifold.

Take a look at the cast Cosworth intake plenum, which is used by many high-power boosted VQ35 guys. This intake still retails for $2,500+.

So, not sure how many people are interested in this, but I feel obligated to disclose what I was told in order to save some people cash and time if they're waiting in this. I work near aam and have a close friend who works there. I saw this thread picking up popularity and decided to ask him about it and see if I can get the scoop.

He said the following and quote:

[The] manifold is some trash!!! ...[B]arely put any R&D into it and tried to rush it on the market. **** is actually losing HP...Hence why no dyno results were ever posted."

He's not a disgruntled employee and loves what he does. He has nothing but good things to say about other products offered by aam and isn't the type to lie or exaggerate when it comes to the aftermarket. I know aam doesn't have a great reputation but if he was ok with working for them and will vouch for their current work and employees (except the tuner....apparently there's a lot to be desired there), I'll let them turn a wrench on my car any day. Take it for what it is but with that opinion, I'd look elsewhere.

My guess would be it's not going to much of anything more than what the VQ35HR makes...

Cosworth intake actually exist... $2500 and it's real and available... AAM "early Easter" for 2018 maybe. It's not early for the year it posted in which was last year.

As for lack of communication? Well yes things happen and things cost a lot. The last rep was not good and now gone. We understand that. But, I'm sure he is not the only one that knows how to type and use a computer in the company. There are people on this forum that paid/invested in your product. Where is the professionalism? That's why I dint go into the pay now and when it's done we send it to you. I buy what's in stock.

Oh I've e-mailed with you before I believe. You're cool. Mike pissed me off. I'm glad he's gone.
