Red does look good, would much rather see the CF inserts embedded into the PC rather then glued on top... glued on strips seems cheap and will be prone to peeling IMO

Well a couple of them look great, guess its luck of the draw..

I'd bet folding money that they're taking a little more time to cleanup casting flash and stuff after the response in this thread. :rofl2:

Progress on polishing this thing https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d39d71cafb.jpg

Now that's going to take some elbow grease.

Polishing is done, now to be sent to EPS Tuning for port-matching with throttle bodies :)

Nice!:tup:

Now if we could only get AAM to ship them that way lol, looks good brother

Agree. AAM should be looking at selling (or have it included) a polished option.

The beauty is in. The fact that the EVAP valve?, or whatever it is that's mounted at the back end of the plenum, is laterally offset by 38mm in my RHD, and now at this LHD-design plenum, stretches the plug harness to its very limit, plus, the attached vac line needed to be cut short by 38mm.

The MAP sensor location is also not OEM but here the harness reaches just fine once some stock tape is removed and the harness slightly re-routed. Apart from that all fits fine.

Finally, the two front breather hoses needa be shortened cos the barbed fittings are non-stock location. But no drama at all.

Noteworthy, one flange bolt is virtually inaccessible and a PITA to torque down because there's too little head room for a torque wrench with 1/4" extension bar plus swivel joint with socket with a 6mm bit, which is needed for these M8 Allen-bolts. One could get a 6mm Allen key in position but then there'd be no way of measuring torqe and the key would still interfere with the two vac&coolant hard lines, so they'd have to be removed. In the end I placed a 6mm bit into this one bolt and cumbersomely hand-tightened it with a 1/4" spanner that sloted onto the bit sideways.

PS: the brass fittings were a tad tricky at first. I re-tapped all threads and all was good. (Probably cause of the ceramic coating). No biggy for me, I had all the tools. I applied PTFE tape to the threads for better seal. Didnt want to use liquid thread sealant in case I want to make use of the currently blanked spare vac ports in the future.

Bottom line, take some time and it's a simple enough DIY job.

So how does the car feel after installing it? Although, of course, a dyno would be best...

Awesome

I havent got the chance to fire up the car yet. Im currently finishing off the installation of Torqen S coilovers with Stanceparts Air Cups. And with a baby I only get a couple of hours on weekends to indulge in garage time. Plus, the space confinement in my garage (see above) makes even a body turn-round an acrobatic act each time
