Re:how to brace your ss auto ---- mani.
kevin, I backed your thread up a few times, sayin the same thing,(about bracing) when people would ask about the mani. i was telling people about your mani and how you braced it and it was ok with a few braces...
it seems as if its a great manifold if you just brace it.
I wouldn't mind buying one, and use it as a template, to make my own :P

The point I'm getting at is I'm wondering how long it will hold since there are a shitload of variables involved here.

If you really want to ensure that this manifold will last, you're going to need to take some weight off the manifold and have a flex pipe in your exhaust right after the DP. I fabbed up a peice that goes from the bottom AC block bolt to the turbo. It's very effective in taking weight off the manifold.
Bracket:
Goes from bottom block bolt to the turbo. Uses washers to get the perfect amount of clearence to support just the right amount of weight.

by the way, I have never seen anything you fabricated. Ive been on this site pretty regularly for about the past 6 months, and have yet to see anything but a gun and criticism. -not even constructive criticism.
I think that kevin has made the point that the SSautomani is ok to use, if you modify it a little. nothing wrong with that. its a decent manifold at a good price, with its drawbacks. just like everythig else.
