AAM Competition VQ37 Intake Manifold Pre-sale!!!

michaeld@aamc · 09-13-2016, 08:42 AM

Hey Guys! We decided to leave the casting marks as a company to preserve the natural finish many customers favor. This gives the customer a clean canvas and the opportunity to customize the intake manifold to their specific liking, and best suit their build!

So in other words, instead of cleaning off the casting marks you left them for the customer to clean off

So, how about those results you've been avoiding sharing?

Michael, that's not what your original ad sold us on.

A flawed canvas you mean

Don’t waste the best years of your car’s life with a factory manifold that doesn’t meet your expectations. Dump the plastic, and use a manifold that’s worth showing off to your friends.

The final product is:

Aesthetically flawed by your own admission.
Clearly does not meet expectations that your own ad generated.
Show what off to my friends...the casting marks and glued on CF sticker?

I'm not in the market for an intake manifold and I doubt anyone really gives a sh*t about my $.02, but this statement screams "laziness" when it comes to parts like these. Sounds like the time didn't want to be spent finishing these or the cost of outsourcing the finishing would bring the final cost of the product even higher.

If it were my company and my product, raw finished parts would have to be special ordered so they could be shipped prior to finishing. I wouldn't want "raw" to be the main image of one of my products. Imagine if Nissan showcased their car models in "raw" states.

(Blah blah, not the same, blah blah)

If I read his quote right, they came together as a company to make this decision

More like, these things are already way too expensive, so we can't spend any more on them.
