Stainless Steel Low Mount Manifold. Looking At Buying

[WogsRus]

Hi Guys.

so i have done some searching and haven't come up with much, but then again, my search skills are crap.

I need to replace my manifold gasket, and while the car was off the road, i figured i might get one of these, but i do not know if they are any good.

I only have a stock turbo at the moment, hoping to upgrade later on down the track.

I know stainless steel manifold are usually not too good, as they tend to crack, so i was wondering if anyone has had any experiance with these manifold, also i know it would not give me necessarly more power, but would it help increase responce at all?

Any of is great thanks.

Hey mate, I think you would probably wanna just buy a qaulity one rather then wasting your money on one of them!!!

good idea.. i had nothign but dramas with mine aswell... worst thing i've ever baught!

Just get your standard one ported and extrudehoned, or try to get an HKS one, far better money spent than the ebay rubbish, not as bling though.

They're the shittest thing in the world. Do a trackday or something and it'll probably crack. Wrap it with heat wrap and it'll probably crack 5 times quicker.

I wouldn't paint it. It probably won't hold, and it'll just burn and flake off.

Sure, sandblast it, but it'll just rust again in no time.,

Most likely your manifold will have warped and probably won't seal on, so you might have to get the mating surface machined.

Yeah i have a spear manifold i am getting ready, so i will prep it all prior to teh other one comming off. I have some 1500degC paint, it takes 6 coles and needs to be baked between each coat. Has some alluminum stuff in it or something.

i made the mistake of buying one, didnt even fit on (unless i used some sort of a spacer, but whos gona use a spacer?) like every1 else has said, dont buy it, but a brand named manifold

p.s i was lucky i got my money refunded

Have you considered comp coatings? I got mine done(with a whole lot of other stuff, wastegate, ex housing inlet manifold) and it cost $350

An aftermarket ex manifold is the biggest waste of money on a stockish r33 let alone an ebay special.

Thnaks guys, i just figured i would ask. LOL. I am sticking wiht a stock one, getting it prepped next week and so forth.

Sorry my slow brain........comp coating??? Please explain?? Thanks Adriano

Competition coatings i think is a company that does ceramic coatings for manifolds and exhausts and whatnot. Like HPC and whatever other companies around that do ceramic coatings. You'd only ever do the black (highest temp) coating as the normal silvery one cant handle the heat in a turbocharged system. We had our dump pipe on the race car done in the silver and it just flaked off after a few race meets.

[tridentt150v]

I've heard from a good source that they all flake off sooner or later.

Not neseccerily true, ive seen the silver stuff last on ex manifolds(hope mine does)Comp coatings are in guildford, sydney
