Hindsight is always 20/20. From these rough finish and poor casting pictures, would it not have been cheaper to create a two piece CNC cut manifold? I have an engineering buddy in manufacturing who said the cost of molds are expensive even in China. I would expect a better looking/performing product given the price of the product, the quality of the mold, and the quality of the aluminum used. Throw this product in front of a GTR crowd, AMG, or RS crowd and you'd be laughed at.

Doesn't seem to be doing that well in front of the 370Z crowd at this point either.

Forced induction dyno graph comparison has been posted for some time now.

Dyno sheet will be available next year, be patient lol

On stock engine (N.A.), is there no gain?

What's up with the quality control with Altered Atmospher.... I mean AAM Competition? If any of those flaps break down, then yes that is going into your motor and ruining it. :shakes head:

AAM Competition VQ37 Intake Manifold Pre-sale!!!
 

Received my intake. Upon closer inspection I cannot find any fault with the quality. It does look stunning. It's relatively light weight too: 5785 gramshttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ee6bf5e4ca.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...502d6f43db.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f4c895165e.jpg

That looks much better than the previous pics. Do you think they're cleaning them up a little more before shipping now?

Looks good!! As it should :) mine is still getting the cleaning/polishing treatment.

No wonder they charge $600 to powdercoat it - that's a lot of work to go from that rough piece posted earlier to a finished product like that one. Looks good though.

Also, i should give credit where it's due. The red ceramic coating and carbon inserts were free of charge for the very long wait. I do appreciate this.
Thanks Patrick@AAM and Adrian@Torqen

2 little things would of make this thing better...

1) The machining on the engine side should not be scratched up. I'm assuming you received it that way. If I'm buying something new I want to see nice fresh machine marks with no scratches. They could easily put a piece of tape on that surface before removing from the mill to protect it and keep it perfect.

2) The port matching should be better. You've already have it chucked on the mill. I'm assuming they put the bolt holes in it at that time. Why not finish the runners and make them more port-matched.

The red powder coat looks really good!
