Megan racing o2 housing and manifold?

I have heard that if the Megan racing manifold and o2 housing are both installed, that the manifold will crack due to not having enough support since it has less bolts than the stock one.Is this true? Anyone had any problems with the manifold or o2 housing cracking? Thanks, just wana know b4 i buy these

I hear both things about this combo from Megan. Some it's cracked on in like no time and others it's worked for them. Personally i have a friend here in vegas that has had it for a long time and it has never cracked on him. Me myself though would never buy it cuz I also here it cracking on ppl. Too many for my comfort

all tubular manifolds will crack if u dont take care of them. if u buy the manifold and heat treat it u should be good for a while. i believe Zeus has a set of these with them treated and it worked for a long time. if u do a search for that it will come up.
as far as the 02 housing, im not as sure. but u will find that every company, no matter how expensive it is, will have cases where they crack!

The research I found and the direction I am going to take is go with a tubular manifold (not sure which one yet) and the Works Exhale 02 housing because it takes advantage of the factory bolt that attaches to the block.

This is what holds up the manifold and takes pressure off of it. It also is cast iron just like stock but 2.5" in diameter for the nice exhaust flow!

I am not recomending the Megan manifold just simply sharing the research I did before deciding what direction I want to go. I also have no affiliation with Works.

The WORKS o2 housing is way too expensive! For a few bucks more i can buy cams for that price
