jpgt Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Hi brought a stainless steel manifold around 8 months ago from TM Developments as standard one cracked, now this one has cracked and I don't know why I'm putting it down to the recent cold weather. Is it normal for this to happen, car is always warmed up and cooled down properly any advice on which manifold is the best.Thanks JP Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shorty Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Mild steel, zisco or wepr as they are both fantastic but stainless always crack on starlets dont know why but the do! Is to do with heat expansion rates etc, either way mild steel ftw!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan507 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 As shorty said. Mild steel is the way forward. seems to last longer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lew777 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 when stainless is hot it pulls all over the place thats what causes it to crack Quote Link to post Share on other sites
