Thanks for reaching out about your concerns with the Gen III Intake Manifold Set.
We strive to bring quality parts to the market, often times exclusive parts that require significant time and effort.
In order to keep the cost below the threshold of viability and the timeframe measured in months instead of years, small cosmetic concessions can sometimes be necessary.
Without careful application of core manufacturing principles, these manifolds could have easily spiraled out of control on the cost and lead-time fronts.
On the other hand, we continuously work towards improving the customer experience and that includes taking feedback seriously and applying the will of our customers to the evolving R&D process.
We sincerely appreciate all feedback and criticism as we keep pushing to improve. We look forward to any further commentary or review.
Thanks for your time, input and certainly your business,
