Why would something that flows as well as they claim lose power up top?

got me? i just saw the numbers and put them up ! Maybe to much flow?

Im curious to see if this was tuned or just slapped on. The graph doesn't look smooth at all.

Well I guess it looks cool

$2750 for the CF inserts and black powdercoating

Same on mine... Look inside by the throttle body openings, mine had some leftover casting crap in there (both sides).

That's scary, is it all the way through? Clearly there is no quality control, as anyone would have seen that.

Either way, they are charging premium prices, and not delivering a premium product. It should arrive with a more finished look in my opinion. Even on the website pictures don't look much better than a rough casting.

No bro is not all the way through, but still you know, even though on the website pictures don't look much better doesn't look this ugly either. i have to be honest they did offer a free powder coating for the long waiting time, wish to i answer no, but because my goal was to polish it and have it really shiny to mash the tubes of my stillen intake but now i'am regretting i said no lol, because the finish is really ugly i don't think polishing it will make it any better, i might need to sand it, grind it, and don't know what else.

You know, they could have powdercoated it for you for another $600 - it might have even covered up that hole

Send it back Discount Tire style if you have to ...

Hey Roky, check your PM's.

The hole you are referring to is not a leak-point, and is part of the manifold design. I've attached some pictures from our product page, which depict these holes as well. They are reliefs/through holes for the hardware which mounts the throttle body to the manifold flange and pose no performance or structural issues.

As for the finish, the raw aluminum is meant to be an option for those who wish to provide their own custom coating rather than having AAM Competition powder coat the manifold. We offer black powder coating at no additional charge, as this intake manifold is intended to be given a proper finish.

Patrick, the piece quality is pretty "rough". Even if you were to get it powder coated, it requires a good amount of prepping. The one I receive has lots of dings at least.

Also, the from what I can see, the insides weren't even cleaned up. There are left over aluminum flaps right by the intake inlets.
