Because it.... works?

On a lighter note, I took the car to a "Race shop" where they build "race cars". Asked the guy to look at my rubo mani, he called my car gay for a while, then looked under the hood and told me he didnt want my business.

I think thats the only true meter of how HMT your kit is. Still look for someone besides meineki to do it, they want ~100$ for ~23 seconds of work.

 

I would be more concerned about WHY it cracked and how to PREVENT it from cracking.
Do you have a flex pipe?
Did you wet or hose your engine after it was very hot?
Do you drive over very bumpy roads?
Did you bottom out and hit the ehhaust?
BTW what did Josh say?
Have you contacted him?

 

theres gotta be someone local to you that can hit it real uick since your so bent on no downtime. wheres the local hmt guys. hopw far are you from chris. im sure hed throw a bead on it for a ham sandwich.

id fix it no prob but you said thats not possible. so i dunno

 

YEa josh, totally not your fault. I cant afford much of anything with my college payments getting setup right now (this month) and I work every day + school so I can't get rides or anything. Life is funny.
Anywyas, yea, I'll give Chris a call, no HMT guys closer then him apparently.

And I have a flex pipe, I do not bottom out, my mounts are solid with either windo weld or inserts or both, everything is bolted tight and there is good clearance aroudn everything.

I assume it's my luck, I generally get the odder problems. Too bad I don't have a mig or a straight friend who owns one.

 

yeah i hear that, your the only manifold ive made out of god, closer to 300 that ive made that has done this. sucks ***

 

you keep using that 300 figure as if it was more than just an exageration

 

um, mine is cracked too. ive noticed a little noise from the front of the car lately, and thought it was cause i might have had an exhaust stud back out. nope, right in the middle towards the back by the dipstick. i only thought about it when i saw this thread and went to look. so josh, nows its 2 outa 300. im pming you now

 

... and people say ssac mani's crack...

I've seen a bazillion logs crack like this.

 

And I have a feeling your about to see 298 more
