True thats at the worst possible place performance wise

idiot !

Last time I checked - you have the same set up so you should be thankful that I am putting out this warning

As sick as I am - I can't wait to get it fixed and see how much more power I can make without the leak

Hey,
The poisoning sucks but you are lucky the thing didn't send a piece off into your turbo and BOOM! That is what I have seen. I will NEVER own a stainless on a street driven car or keep one on a race car for too long for that reason...

You are very right - I was just looking at your cast manifold - I will be calling Dave Buschur in the am to get myself on the list for his set up

AND I will be putting a carbon monoxide decector in the car immediately

I am not going through this again

If you weld that up and drive it you have been warned...

I will have to laugh though cause it wouldn't be as pesto said, "karma" It would be just your stupidity for ignoring a major warning sign.

The manifold heat cycles and gets more not less weak over time. If it is already cracking, it wait till next time- waste of a good motor... Maybe a whole lot more.

I will definitely get a billboard to say i told ya so too!

Check out the avo too. Ni-resist coated with near equal length runners and overbuilt.

that's mine btw...

That outside runner doesnt look too optimal

Just a question... doesn't this constitute to a possible law suit?

You have to see the underneath part the runners are pretty close in length and a lot bigger than stock or some stainless manifolds.

Stainless manifold + enough time and some major heat = crack It is a racing part btw with warnings about racing being dangerous etc.

Dude, please lets not get into this **** again. I am curious about the cracked manifold as well, I thought metal annealed and became stronger as it heat cycled. I know that the titanium on an SR-71 was hard to work when new, but after they have flown for 10-15 years with all of the heat cycles they go through when going to mach 3 and back down again, that now the titanium is said to be damn near impossible to cut it is so annealed. It sure looks like Dave was right once again. I guess after a while you have to start to think that they know whats up, not that I ever doubted them before, it's just becoming more apparent over time.

Tru I wish car parts were Ti. Youve also got to remember that this thing is supporting ALOT of weight under very extreme temps!! AL were did you tap the EGT?

when you try to get warranty out of it al, you gonna leave out the fact that you use nos?

that sucks about the health issues and the cracked manifold .. hope you get it resolved with ease.
