DC Sports Manifold Concern
I just received my DC Sports manifold and noticed that the Turbo Inlet flange has cracks on the inside of the manifold. Is this something to be concerned about or will the flange hold??
Thanks

that's just the seam between the runners and the flange, as long as the welds look good on the outside it should be ok.

yeah the welds are fine, actually quite nice on the outside. i'm just not sure that after a few years the flange will begin to crack? oh well, i guess time will tell?

Wow. I would have assumed that DC Sports would have welded that seam inside the flange as well as outside. Usually, DC Sports have great products.

You Would Not Be Able To Buff Off The Bead Splatter If You Weld The Inside, Its Fine...

We've done numerous DC manifolds, all of which looked similar, and there has not been a single issue with one.

You're good to go.
