Glanza_Ragger Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Its stainless.Which means it'll crack.Dont bother, and if you heat wrap it, it'll just crack quicker Buy a cast or mild steel manifold, such as a JAM manifold, road runner if you can find one etc.You dont have to drill any holes, id be worryed if you did drill any holes in it because there pre drilled.If youre happy using tools and have a bit of mechanical know how, it'll be a piece of piss to fit.If you do choose that manifold, take it to a fabricator and ask them to weld little tabs onto each runner to the header flange, and a couple on the turbo flance to the main cone.It'll keep it a bit more ..

StarletRick Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 less than a year. cheap stainless steel manifolds dont last long. get a mild steel or a cast one. JAM ones are the best you can get. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

StarletRick Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 he has them listed, but "on hold" ive spoken to JAM in japan, they dont make them anymore. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sam_turbs Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 he has them listed, but "on hold" ive spoken to JAM in japan, they dont make them anymore.prob go for the stainless then and just pay out when it breaks.might get it strenghtened prolong its life a bit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_Ragger Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 prob go for the stainless then and just pay out when it breaks.might get it strenghtened prolong its life a bit So youre going to pay 100-200 for a stainless manifold, just to pay out for another 100-200 for another one in a year or less Wish i had that kinda cash Do as the master says, and get him to hunt you a JAM manifold down, there the strongest but also hard to find and pretty pricey when you do find one.OR keep an eye out for a RoadRunner manifold, go on tgtt.com and contact Ivan - the roadrunner fabricator and ask if he has any or if he could knock you one up, if you cant find a jam item.Save youre self the hassle, time and cash on stainless manifolds..Once they crack, a repair weld will last all of 10 seconds.Stainless is just way too brittle, it might be alrite for larger manifolds but on a ct9 manifold with such small runners and the mental amount of welding needed around the cone it just wont last..Trust me, it WILL get on youre tittys keep taking the manifold off to replace/repair Craig.
