im thinking about getting a shearer mani but for $1K im afraid of it cracking, anyone have this manifold over a year with no cracks?

has anyone had the shearer mani crack on them?


i dont know if i should just go with a $200 ported & coated oem mani that i know wont crack or just get the $1000 shearer mani that will make more power cost most but might crack

 

Doesn't it have a lifetime warranty? Most manifolds that expensive do, like ETS manifolds do

 

I have had my shearer manifold for 3+ years and it hasn't cracked yet. It bears the full weight of the turbo, dp etc. and holds up like a champ.

 

how much power would a shearer mani make over a oem ported & coated?

 

Another option is a Full-Race style tubular. I have one of those on my HTA Green. I am pretty sure they are lifetime warrantied as well.

Not sure about the overall gains, some people see a gain of +25ish peak torque over the stock setup. This is due to the tubular nature and the equal length runners. You may lose a little in spool up (barely noticeable) but you will gain power in the peak numbers higher in the RPM band.

Full-Race had some really great deals on their Manifolds too. I saved almost 200 over what they wanted on their website by PMing them on here. They have a vendor account. Look them up.

 

I'm supporting the Shearer. I have never seen problems with one cracking, etc. Those are the only manifolds I'd buy.

 

JMFab!!! FTW. Whatever you do make sure you install the manifold and heat cycle it a few times before trying to get it coated. Coatings seam to hold up tons better this way.

 

how much did you pay??

 

that really does not matter dude. Talk to carlos at TCC that has coated tons of products either way is fine. OP pm me dude ill get you a deal on mona for sure.

shearers 1196
fullrace 827
ets 850
mona 750

last time i looked at prices.
