H_Dar Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 Looking to upgrade my stock Ct9 manifold as Ive found a hairline split on it (badtimes) but dont know who to buy one from... only looking to spend £200 max to be honest so was thinking either one of these. Any recommendations or experiences with either company?http://www.tm-developments.com/index.php?m...products_id=187http://www.jperformance.co.uk/toyota-glanz...fold-p-286.html Quote
Lukew360 Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 Didn't Socks have the JPerformance one and it cracked in 2 weeks? Quote
Socks Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 Didn't Socks have the JPerformance one and it cracked in 2 weeks?the one in the link to TM developments website is for a "toyosports" manifold. it isnt braced and if u look at my project thread, it'll fall apart!the jperformance ones are braced and ro55fumi and SteveGT have had no problems!

Ryan-11 Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 i think both them manifolds are the same make, but my mate has one on his glanza and its been fine, think its just luck of the draw if u get one that will last. Quote
Socks Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 you can see the brace between the turbo and head flanges in the picture on the jperformance site... NOT the same manifold guys! Quote
Ryan-11 Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 you can see the brace between the turbo and head flanges in the picture on the jperformance site... NOT the same manifold guys!my mate bought a mani from tm-developments and it was a jperformance mani he got but that was ages ago and maybe Dave have diffrent manis now Quote
ro55ifumi Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 you can see the brace between the turbo and head flanges in the picture on the jperformance site... NOT the same manifold guys!As above, not had any issues with my jperformance mani Quote

Steve GT Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 Japspeed/J performance braced ones are fine and quite cheap too and IMO good quality Quote
ste91 Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 Both look shit to me.I've not heard anything bad about Race-Tech manifolds so I'd have a look at them instead. Quote
H_Dar Posted June 9, 2010 Author Posted June 9, 2010 Both look shit to me.I've not heard anything bad about Race-Tech manifolds so I'd have a look at them instead. sadly out of my price range mate Quote
H_Dar Posted June 9, 2010 Author Posted June 9, 2010 Neither. Port your stock manifold.my stock manifold split mate Quote
Jozinobi Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 My advice would to be to get a WEPR Mild Steel CT9 mani which is just over £200 in their group buy on tgtt.Needs 5 people minimum but if you need it fast, can always buy at the normal price.WEPR GBMost reliable uprated ct9 mani available for that price.Joz Quote

Dan507 Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 Mid steel in most cases is stronger and will last longer.A bit of advice with things like manifolds don't buy cheap. Quote
