To be fair, Michael is just a marketing associate and I think he joined AAM not too long ago.

I thought he was just hiding dyno data and would come out with a bang, but sadly it's been a bust with typical delays.

My fellow enthusiasts, we have received our first batch of Intake Manifolds! We are finalizing the finish, as the vibra-polish finish was not up to our standards.

We plan to have the completed units in our hands by mid – late September, and dyno numbers shortly!

Yep, wait some more. Well done AAM. Just when we think you might actually make good on this thing, you tell us it's still not done.

One of my dad's sayings comes to mind. 'Cart before the horse".
Probably would have been a good idea to develop before advertising. This could be a great product, but delays have created a lot of angst.

Yep, blowing their wad too soon, taking money and back pedaling for six months makes them look like GTM. This will probably be a good part, but this should be a Harvard business school case on how not to launch a product.

Except this case is probably too stupid to make into HBS cases...they took money without even a working prototype...AAM didn't even iron out the logistics and QC before making the announcement.

Michael, was this your bright idea to jump the gun or your boss made you do this? And yes, I would ask the same question in the same tone if I meet you in person.

Im one of them who paid in full 7 months ago.
Spoke with AAM. First batch of finalized units is ready but the finish isn't to AAM's high standards. Delays with 3rd party manufacturers has been holding up AAM's schedule. Been largely beyond their control. Expected completion: end of September.
They are gonna come, and personally Im happy to wait until the product is top notch quality

Whatever, manifold is manifold. Patience is a virtue my friends! Not like anyone here needs it so badly that their life will be ruined if they don't get it soon.

I'm waiting to see some dyno numbers first!
