m11xky Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 Thanks everyone, seems like mild steel is the favourite....but only beacause of the reliability....If there was a stainless steel one which was proven seriously hard wearing, things may be different ;)Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pick1 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 SS for looks mild steel for durability bit urs some stainless steel kits are of the highest quality and would probably not crack Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Good thread mate, kind of a bit drawn into tihs myself, going to be ordering my mani soon from Zisco.Anyone had any bad things with their stainless? I much prefer the look of stainless, but if mild is going to be more durable then i'll go for that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blitz Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 i think if you get good stainless you ll be fine ie zisco, race tech like i say i ve had my zisco one for over 2 years now and no problems with it at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Thanks for that mate, I thought that would be the case but just wanted to make sure and get some opinions on it.Like Sock's said, when you mention stainless people think that it will crack because of the amount of cheap ebay crap out there.

Snow Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I had a mild steel manifold on my 106 heat wrapped it and it pretty much fell to pieces cracks and holes everywhere cant remember the make but it wasn't a cheap crap one either. got a ss one on the Glanza atm one weld looks a bitiffy but nothing 10 seconds wouldn't fix Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Browner Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I've had a WEPR mild steel mani running on my car well over a year now and it's only begun to lightly rust. A quick reprint in high temp black followed by high temp lacquer and it will look class again Quote Link to post Share on other sites
H_D Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Forget mild steel and stainless....im going for scedule 40 its bombproof and used in alot of rally cars Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shorty Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Wepr mild steel every day! I dont care how it looks. i cant see it with the bonnet down and boost on full blast!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WallaceGlanza Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Forget mild steel and stainless....im going for scedule 40 its bombproof and used in alot of rally carsSchedule 40 relates to the thickness of the pipe (3.68mm for 1 1/2" pipe).... it still has to be made of metal though!!Road runner mani's were sch40 and they still cracked - just not through the thickness of the actual pipe but yes the thickness of the usual cheap manifolds are not sch40 and are too thin.

StarletMad Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Had a toyosports SS TD04 Mani for about 8 months and sold it on in perfect condition when i blew my car up.........I believe LeeRoyV is also using one at the moment at 240bhp......... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
