Got a new manifold



Just a megan but I was excited to put it on today and not have any exhaust leaks.

I must have lucked out. I had the megan manifold for almost three years and its been perfect. I was actually waiting for it to crack because I got my stocker ported.

I've heard when you wrap them and take off the louvered shield out of the heat vent on the hood (where water gets to it), that's when it will start cracking. From the heating and cooling issues associated with the water getting to it.
It happened to mine on my first EVO. So this time I may go with a ported stock, or get another Megan, wrap it, but leave the heat vent in.

Thjey crack because some num-sculls think its a good Idea to wash the car after they were running it or driving it. Imagine this You are going to your favorite car Wash (I hand wash all my cars by myself) and its a little far, So you jump on the highway but you are a spirited driver (hence the reason you are modifying your car). Then you exit go into the car wash, you manifold is scorching hot and about to be Quickly cooled by the water. That makes it brittle, the more you do it the more brittle it becomes. Same Idea with brake rotors, the will warp if they are hot and you spray water on them. So no guys I am sorry to inform you that if you think its cool when you wash your car and all the steams flows out of your fenders, you are just an idiot ruining your car. Just wanted to get that out there, because a lot of people don't realize the damages they do to their vehicle.

OMG!!!! a megan manifold..

I also prefer a ported stock manifold. If flows better then the megan. Your quest for bling will have you fall on your face with cheap parts.

My Megan lasted just fine...And I beat the bag out of my car. all these people that have probably never owned one throwing in their .02 take with a grain of salt.
