UPS came today.. big let down.

see...people laugh at me for my $119 PP plenum, but mine is flawless. awesome fit and finish, and accomplishes the same thing.

wow that's horrendous. Since you don't absolutely need to put this part on right away, I'd say it would be worth your while to RMA and get a better unit. AM.com will handle it well, for sure

Haha same here! I bought my plenum for 69.00 on ebay, and my throttle body for 100 shipped on corral classifieds

Thats the casting process for you, your always going to get some bubbles in the process.

 

[02LaserRed2V]

eww, it looks like it has some kinda nasty contagious disease..

 

[Mike97gt]

eh, i would just throw it on and run as long as the internal is fine. ive never been one for bling though. i had a chrome maf to tb tube on mine and pulled that crap right off and put the stocker back on.

I agree, that would not have any impact on performance

Would you buy a "brand new" car with scratches or bubbles all over the paint, and keep it, without asking for a new one, just because that doesn't have impact on its performance? Yea.. right.

Aside from how assinine throwing a used part with obvious defects on a car would be, there's no arguing with the simple fact here: A customer paid for a brand new one, and got a used one. One would think the fact that it clearly is damaged on the outside would cause one to further question the quality of craftsmanship on the inside.

In any case, MT as I expected handled it gracefully, offering to exchange it and pay for the shipping on the old one back to them. That's why I love those guys.

I do not care if the damage is only cosmetic, I would return the part for sure.
