Icon6 Password:JDM quality control

I received my Password:JDM intake the other day. I've heard complaints of bolt holes not lining up on the "ColdAirChamber" so that's first thing I checked. All those lined up but the 2 holes on the ColdAirChamber do not line up with the threaded inserts on the RamAir scoop:

These things:


Don't line up:


I think I've blown my chances of getting an exchange too because I filed down a bit of the inside where the scoop meets the ColdAirChamber thinking I could get the scoop to fit fine... as it was even worse before. I guess I'm going to have to enlarge the holes a bit. Just a heads up for those thinking of the Password:JDM.

As much as everyone rants and raves about PW JDM, I'm not into their products. I don't think you have a difficult task ahead of you to make the intake work. Even some of the 100% JDM companies have slight errors with their molds, their parts are at times 95% fitment.

I have seen some good password parts, however, I think the are a little overpriced on their carbon fiber s2k parts. IMO

yeah way too expensive, IMO they shouldnt cost more than a G, the other $1500-$2000 you are spending is on the passwordjdm name

So if another Company were to come in and produced Quality carbon parts at a reasonable price there would be an interest?

Im sure there would be, but the drawback is the cost in materials, labor and equipment.
