Re: Crack in my CC-Fab log?
 

Mine did the same thing with maybe some little cracks on some spots, but mine is not that bad. I had to take my manifold off and get it TIG'd though. I don't really see you getting a good weld with it on the car, but then again you drove around like that. It does hurt spool time and effect your car's performance, you DO know this right? ::) Mine wasn't all that BIG though, maybe that long, but not that wide or ------ apart. David is straight though and offered to get it all taken care of; however, it was easier and faster to have it TIG'd at Dad's work. Gets hot especially at a restrictive area as such. Happens. JK told me his cracked like 5 times, but I think his buddy made his.



EDIT: Watch when you weld it not to get it to hot or it will warp the head flange. :-*

It cracked becuase of the shitty weld, not the design.

Re: Crack in my CC-Fab log?
 

I'll ask around how much it will cost locally to get it rewelded. Lame. :-\

Re: Crack in my CC-Fab log?
 

If its just at the top an welder can do it. 40-50 bucks

good thing they come with a lifetime warranty ;)

Re: Crack in my CC-Fab log?
 

Wouldnt it be better to re weld the crack with it still mounted to the engine? I would think that would prevent it from distorting to much.

But anyway if you can find a good welder that should be a quick cheap fix. If you dont care about cosmetics and if you lived near me I would mig it for free.

Yea, homos at meinki quoted me 75$ and will make it ugly a ----. I need a local welder, argh.

Re: Crack in my CC-Fab log?
 

Buy another manifold, send that pile back to hotrex, make him fix it then sell it.

Re: Crack in my CC-Fab log?
 

If I get another mani, it has to be identical to this one. My whole kit is built with about 1mm of tolernace on every pipe. :6 I'd send it back, but that would mean a week at leats wethout my car. Not gonna happen with school/full time job.

Go to a mom/pop muffler place they will do it for cheap
