my new Borla Manifold just cracked
Ya so i had this manifold on maybe a month and its cracked already, not sure if i just had a lemon or bad luck but i think when i change turbos im goin with Buschur's GT35R kit because they use cast and i just hate dealing with problems...
You aren't the only one. People with WRXs/STis have cracked Borla header, just check www.nasioc.com. I'm starting to see a trend here ... hrm
full race manifolds certainly crack. It's a problem period when you use thinner wall tubing and are pushing high EGTs with a lot of heat cycling. The ultimate, I suppose, would be a nice inconel manifold, but unlike the VW world, I don't see anyone making them for this car. You'd think it would be done too, given the extreme turbos people are inclined to run.
