they have crappy welds, a shitty design with tiny runners and a bad collector, and they have a habit of breaking. enjoy

just research into how to properly brace them

if you make a brace fomr the block supporting the turbo, the mani wont have any stress which is what causes the material they use to crack

Best $100 youll spend if you take an hour to make a 1/2 descent brace

Hate to say this.. but if you didn't buy it already paypal the guy like, $4 for the auction and say you don't want it.

If you did buy it.. brace the hell out of it.

Projekteg wrote a good writeup on how to brace one. it's around on HMT somewhere.

Support HMT and buy from one of the manifold builders.

"Support HMT and buy from one of the manifold builders."
Most intelligent, honest and positive post from someone I've heard in awhile. Shitbird makes some incredible manifolds here and if you just post up in the wanted section and ask for a custom manifold you should get a pretty good response from fabber here. SSL2K makes very nice and affordable log manifolds and have seen them in person.

I too agree. Mine was braced and still broke in other places :P
