Default **** I will never deal with aam again!!!***

Ok so during this whole build I have hit every bump in the road. I figured I would post this cause aam has been one thing after another. Fist I ordered 3" down pipes with open dumps. When I recieved them I realized that the one dump tube was hitting the wastegate. I was just looking at it, it wasn't even installed. So I called them and explained it. There solution was they were gonna send me a bunch of gaskets so I could just pile them up till it cleared...Lol yea ok.... I said so I sent it back and they made me a new one. Now it fits... So I'm waiting for my motor to get back. I order a aam fuel return when I recieve it, it missing parts, parts that don't work. Now keep in mind during all this I'm back and forth with them and just seems like there to busy, I have to email them pics and they say they will get back to me and I always have to call them. Ok so the send me the right fittings. Cool so now I have eveything I need. Tonight I bolt the down pipes on, bolt the wastgates on, bolt the dump tube they fixed on, go to bolt the other dump tube on. The passangers side and what do you know IT DON'T FIT!!!!!.... I'm done I'm just taking it to a shop around me to see if they can fix it.... I will NEVER do biz with them again.............

did you install them in the right order? Its a very tight fit. I installed the DP first and then the wastegate/dump tube assembly.

just my 2 cents but i've been trying to order a fuel system thru aam for my vq35hr motor since november, so far the fuel system is supposedly done, got an invoice from them, and now waiting for shipment. Reason it took so long is that they had to configure their system for the vq35hr motor. Emails on their website suck and every 5th email i would get a response from them, but calling them straight up was pretty straightforward. So far everything isn't goin too bad and hopefully i'll be coming home to a complete and working fuel system.

Waiting and then receiving an item that doesnt even work is probably the worst feeling.
