That's pitting all over the plenum in the 1st pic, and scratches all over the IAC mount on the 2nd one.. 3rd is just a random pic of more pitting. The bottom of the plenum is all scratched just like the IAC.

Great quality control Accufab! It's getting sent back.

wait that's not used??? wow, just wow

 

[DropTopPony]

ew thats bad! I always thought they were supposed to be the best.

 

[Henceforward]

Look like an orange...

Send that crap back...

 

[hotmustang331]

You can polish it out yourself....but sending it back is probably the best thing to do. But man I HATE having to send stuff back

 

[ab 281 gt]

Damn... Not what you'd expect with how much that bitch costs!!

 

[BurningRubber]

Holy crap man... that sucks. I wouldnt care about the IAC port, cause you wont see it once the IAC is hooked up, but God the rest of that thing is nasty. Wonder if it was Accufab or American Muscle?

While I LOVE MT/American Muscle's products, and I always tell people to buy stuff from them.....I just dont see how that could happen coming striaght out of the factory at Accufab. That had to be a restocking issue over at AM that caused that.

I'm acutally surprised that pits at all. Makes me wonder how long before a new one would pit anyway

 

[ADRENLN]

mines pitted up too, they are just like that i think.

hmph thats pretty crappy for the $400+/- those damn things cost

 

[96BlueStangGT]

Wow, that's almost gross looking. I bought mine from the same place a few weeks ago and it was nothing like that. It might have a little pitting but nothing like that. A little is normal but that is uncalled for. Definitely send that back and request another because there not all like that.

Here's what mine looks like. It was near perfect all over, pretty much what i expected for the money i spent on it.

 

[BennyBlown2v]

That really sucks! My guess is you got a used unit from MT, I dont like them.

 

[94GTStang]

Ouch.... that looks bad.


I helped a friend install hers and it looked pristine

 

[sgarlic]

Yeah I'm thinking that Accufab probably screwed it up at the factory, then MT missed it when they packaged it. I wrote MT about it.. I've ordered a ton of stuff from them in the past (including wheels) ... and this was the first thing I had a problem with.. I'm sure they'll handle it gracefully.

I wrote Accufab a nice e-mail with pictures included, ending with "Great quality control!"

 

[helty]

My old one had minor pitting too, but nothing near that bad. Thats just terrible.

 

[03ghoststang]

ive had mine for 3 yrs and it still looks new with very little pitting its barely noticable

 

[san~man]

Mine was/is perfect. Send that crap back at their expense.

 

[Jackie Chan]

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.

 

[stangtrooper97]

accufab is very inconsistent on finish. When I worked at MT about half of the TB/Plenums were this way, the other half were better. I'd say throw it on the car, because waiting sucks.

 

[DTNODYA]

I'd send it back (although I hate doing that also!) just because of how much it costs vs. the quality. Then again, I'm mad picky about stuff I buy for my car ....
