Air Gain Problems and harness issues?

My friend called me and told his story about the AGS system when he had it installed. It caused the throttle body to short out. Is this a function of heat or faulty plug wiring?

I recall M7 talking about the glue melting or something like that... but since then they have addressed the problem by using a better adhesive.

The problem has been addressed with a new batch of adhesives that has no
issues with heat load in the 200ºF region and above.

The TB issue was just a guess no more no less, it was all a harness issue.

This was the reason for us not shipping, untill we knew that there was no issues......period.

Peter,

Are you going to warranty the parts and TB on defective units that have shipped and will ship in the future?

I would like to know so that I can be comfortable in buying the AGS...
