I am not sure I see what the problem is, maybe the picture is not clear enough?

Porosity, a common problem for a sand casting??

the problem is the quality of the part is horrible,their are rust marks like spots all over

In the picture that i posted makes it look good but in person if you where to see it you would think otherwise.

I had stated to the vendor that my car is a show car and what i was looking for was show quality,and to make matters worse this is not what i ordered,the vendor had a picture of a stock like unit on his web page that i thought i was buying.If i wanted the use look i may as welll had purchased it from one of the members here 1/3 of the price

Looks like show quality from a junk yard

3.8junkie · 06-01-2009, 01:56 PM

WOW - Second set of pictures really shows. If you asked for show quality - I would agree with you. Hope everything turns out well. Maybe its as simple as an employee packaged the wrong item. It can happen. Good luck.

If you wanted show then why didn't you order from these guys?

Buick, turbo buick, grand national, ttype, gnx, 3.8, regal, 84-87
Go about halfway down the page and you'll see the chrome upper plenum.

The part you ordered is a performance part. Yes it is polished to make it shine but the part was built for performance and not bling factor.

im aware that it's more for performance but at the same time one of the members here in chicago has a 70mm unit that looks better than the chrome unit.
