Anyone had a cracked SSAutoChrome Manifold?
 
I was wondering any of you who bought a manifold from SSAutoChrome on Ebay had any problems with cracks on the manifold? Or any problems at all? Just wondering before i go buy one. Any feedback is great. Thanks

I asked that a few month's ago to...there should be a post about it. the welds are kinda shitty if you look inside the manifold..I was told and if you brace it it won't crack

i've gotta agree with you on looking pretty on the outside and shitty on the inside, but who sees inside the manifold?As for the guys that dont like these manifolds and say they crack too easy,im gonna go against you guys on this one as i actually have one of these manifolds and i love it! lots of people on HMT have told me that the crack within the first month or so! ive had mine for 2 months now and its still there! im not saying that they dont crack tho.

just a question , all those who have dissed the manifold, actually HAVE one or have had experience with one cracking?

i personally dont even like the way they look, the piping is tiny. The inside does matter because of how it will flow. Granted, it wont be a huge difference and since the manifolds are cheap they seem like a decent value.

I have no experience with them, but that is because I have read too much bad stuff on them. I would be stupid to go buy one thinking it won't happen to me or whatever. There were like 3 or 4 posts just on this forum about those products. Honda-Tech has millions of them.

if it did crack, couldn't you just weld it back together?

the one where the flange meets the head doesn't look too terrible. but the one where the pipes come together looks really sugared in that picture.. like they forgot to backpurge it or something..

so no one has ever got a cracked on their SSautochrome manifold.

I have had one in my car for 6 months.........nothing. No cracks, no bracing, no problems. I am going to get a new one though because the ------- thing dings on the hood because it is so tall. Other then that, no complaints.

I bought one a while back and didn't think it looked too bad. I havn't tried it out yet, so I have no experiences with it, but so far I like what I hear.

Re:Anyone had a cracked SSAutoChrome Manifold?
 
from what i "hear" they aren't too bad as long as you brace them.

Re:Anyone had a cracked SSAutoChrome Manifold?
 
i thought it's already braced?

tranceminister 12-12-2003 04:24 PM

Re:Anyone had a cracked SSAutoChrome Manifold?
 
It actually is already braced, but someone told me the welds for the braces need to be reinforced. They look fine to me though.

hmmmm oh well i already made my own manifol, and it looks a bit better from the inside at some spots although it could be better...but the outside of my manifold is a bit shitty.
I made mine for $50 so it's a better value ;D
