What do you do with the PCV valve that was in the OEM intake on the 2.0L?  Is it blocked off on the new one?

intake manifold Gen II/"US" customer project vehicle Solstice 2.0

This is set is being resold after needing lots of modifications by the customer. He also states that your customer service was not willing to correct the issues and then became uncommunicative.

I hope you can correct this situation, I can't support vendors who have this type of business practice.

Agree - that should pretty much kill your business on this continent.  Feel free to post and explain why the manifold supplied to that customer did not fit and why you refused to fix it.  Let's hear your side.

Wow
Although, I never considered this. They never showed any proof of their claims.
They choose cool colors but in every build,  something just looks like ass in the engine bay

Are you calling me an ass?

Oh wait wrong forum... but yeah I guess hind sight is 20/20 and I did kinda have a bad feeling about this part. Especially since it was just a refitted EVO manifold...

Sucks some folk got screwed on this deal.

Everyone here needs to back off, none of which any of you have even purchased the product have begun to bash the vendor.  His product is on many LNFs and there hasn't been and issues. 

I wouldn't expect a vendor to take back a product with the photos provided on the solstice forum either...

I was considering one but not now. The vendor has been asked multiple times what hp increase did they see from just swapping the I/M and he seems to be ignoring it.

I'm not risking my money on hopes of a HP increase on a product with sub-par fitment.

Statement

i raed your message a little bit to late so thats why i write now.

1. what the hell you do with the intake manifold?
2. why you dont read the how to do list?
3.you must remove the holder from the high pressure pump.
4. and the throttle must stand in one direction which is evertime and for all cars the same ( whatch to do list )
5. and cutting the intake was bad and needless
and to take back the destroid intake manifold is not avaleble

6. the intake from generation II we selled minimum fourty times and they all workin and there where no problems with the install.
7. and because he culd not install themself he better had ask a person who is an mechanics.


8. and wach this! intake manifold GEN II was removed for the GEN III

Now that you are back, we are still waiting for some back to back dyno evidence that your manifold actually does something useful.  Until then, it is all just advertising puffery.
