That manifolds going to crack man... I don't want to be negative but every person i know with a megan that wraps it ends up cracking... The ones that dont wrap it still are in good shape.

Good choice on the bov!


Cheers!

Looks good... but i'd definentely take the wrap off before your manifold turns to a paper weight!

Btw-- you need t-bolts!

yes it does look very good...i would just leave it wrapped....i dont see how wrapping it would cause it to crack....anyway you got the stocker waiting..which is better in my opinion anyway. forge bov looks good also...it doesnt sound any different than stock does it?

Yes sir!

no boost creep with the megan, call me rice but I think heat wrap looks pretty friggin cool, so if the megan is K.I.A. so be it.

To everyone else, Thanks for the coments! I haven't drove it yet because I'm waiting for the wrap to dry so I don't kill the mani right away.

Since mine looks like crap I might wrap mine also. Is there any evidence to prove this helps?

I'd like to see how many people who have owned a Megan manifold had it crack on them. If it cracks under a year, under warranty, no?

I think it looks nice wrapped btw.

I installed an ingalls engine dampener when I installed my manifold about a year ago and its fine. I did have to replace there crappy gasket with the stock one because it started leaking.
