Brace the wastegate? lol (yeah right)

Have that one rewelded, wrap it with exhaust wrap, and ebay it. The new one that they sent you, ebay it. Take all the money and buy a real manifold. Shitbirds equal length should put all of your pipes and stuff in the same general location with not much to re-do. Spend the money the first time, and call it good.


And since you said so, your and idiot that needs to kill yourself. ;D ;)

Re:my ssautorant
 

why not? i braced the wg on my ssautocunt. just weld a brace from the wg flange, diagonal to the turbo flange, then run a brace from the turbo flange to the block. look here and follow these directions and it will work, also, you can pick up like a 3 ft. bar of that steel at lowes or home depot for like 3 bucks, then just cut the lengths you need and take it to a welder if you can't weld.

ithink they are actually made out of thinner material than that a local master fabricator makes all his turbo manifolds out of 16 guage ss and has never had one brake that i know of.

mm, that manifold looks sexy

Re:my ssautorant
 

i`ve seen OBX manifolds but they look completely different then the SS.
last time i saw the OBX (a week ago), the tubing looks a lot thicker then the old ones..
hell may be i wil "test" it out later.

Hey beau, Would something like that full race manifold be okay for the street. I was thinking of making a cazy designed manifold like that this winter just to be different

Re:my ssautorant
 

Sell the new manifold, reweld up the old one and sell it as well.
