i know the megan ex manifold is known for cracking i want to know what other manifolds have cracked before, please post if you had a ex mani crack on you.

i just installed the invidia manifold and want to know how often aftermarket ex mani crack! thanks

 

Almost all tubular are prone to cracking.the more durable ones are the ones that are back purge welded.

 

Just get a ported/coated stock manifold.

 

i already installed my invidia tubular manifold. so how long do i have ruffly before it cracks??

 

theres really no set time.some never crack.theres alot of variables like motor mounts,driving style,heat cycles etc

 

It could crack tomorrow or it could last 10 years with no problems.

 

even the borla ones cracked which was backed by a million mile warranty and then was pulled off the market

 

this is really scaring me lol

anyone ever use the invidia manifold??

 

i really wouldnt be too worried, if it happens, it happens. dont let it eat at you in the back of your mind. i doubt it will die in a day.

 

no one has had any other manifold cracked on them besides megan??

please if you have a mani crack on you post witch brand you had. Thanks

 

don't let these guys worry you, the invidia manifold is by far the strongest manifold I have seen out. The thing weights twice as much as a stock manifold. Just enjoy your car and only worry about it if that day comes.

 

I'd just stick to the stock manifold.
Even, Tuners (HKS Kansai) in Japan are known to recommend keeping it
for stock based (FP,CBRD...type) Turbos.

 

I have had the Megan manifold for over a year now and I bought it used and still no cracking or anything. I guess it's just hit or miss...

 

I had the megan once. Never cracked in the 2 years of having it. If you use the bracket to bolt the turbo to the block, you should have no problems. The problem is because the full weight of the turbo and exhaust pulling down on the manifold. Most people don't re-use the bracket.
