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. Last edited by Patrick@AAMComp; 02-14-2017 at 01:06 PM. |

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. |

Fark that, no thanks.
I wonder if AAM will cover you for damage to your engine if some of that crap comes a drift & gets ingested. Me thinks not.

Well Those are interesting photos that just proves the point that it's poorly manufactured. And what would worry me is if some of that casting flash breaks off and gets digested in the engine you can just kissed you engine good by.
If they had been smart when they design this they would have made it 2 pieces, with a removable cover which would have allowed you to get into the plenums and clean up the runners. It's just a bad deal no matter how you look at. |

[QUOTE=1cintron;3615991]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.
PM'd, check your messages. |

Regardless of finish or anything, there is still no info on whether or not there are any gains which means there probably aren't.
