I guess that the people that buy those are the ones that dont even care or know what they are made out of :(

I know that some of you guys on here use them but you probably braced them ...No offence to U LOL

Re:SS AUTOCROME LOL
 
oh, but this isn't aluminum, this is aluminium. LOL

Re:SS AUTOCROME LOL

Its probably cause those things weigh about 3 grams ::)

It sure looks like it was used or at least installed to me.

Stan 12-01-2004 05:13 PM

Re:SS AUTOCROME LOL
 
The guy probably doesn't know that it's actually stainless steel.

^^ that one is because he cut the ------- thing off and very shitily welded it back on. And look!!.... no brace ::)

How the ---- do people expect a $100 tubular manifold made with thin material to be able to hold that dead weight at high temps...

Takes 2 hours to make a nice brace to completely support the turbo on it own, manifold is great for the money unless you can make one yourself

Jeter2Karaffa 12-03-2004 03:46 PM

Re:SS AUTOCROME LOL
 
yeah the welds are horrible on that thing! no wonder it broke off like that

Re:SS AUTOCROME LOL
 
It always amazes me how people will defend such a piece of ---- product as if it was the user's fault of why it broke. ::)

look at the pic again there is a brace ::)

There's always an excuse. I read that thread on HT and he said he had it braced to the block and all the other bullshit you gotta do to those manifolds but people still like to defend a piece of ----

Re:SS AUTOCROME LOL
 
My log manifold that I made myself would hold my entire engine up. I could pull the motor out of the car by it. That manifold is a pile of ----. SS autocrap is sad and you shouldn't defend then in anyway. Any product that needs to be modified to work to begin with is a peice of ---- and shouldn't be sold. Do you buy struts and have to brace them to not snap off your control arms? No because they were designed to hold the weight.

Re:SS AUTOCROME LOL
 
That brace would have done nothing using the steel in that "direction" meaning parallel to the ground would do nothing.

Just shows people care more about shiney turd then a functinal manifold. A good thick material log manifold is more than enough for the typical joe but majority will go for the poorly constructed shiney turd oh well.

Reddy 12-03-2004 06:59 PM

Re:SS AUTOCROME LOL
 
Those autoshit manifolds are one of my pet peeves. Everytime I see one it pisses me off. And there's always an excuse of why it broke and what they should have done. I'm just waiting to hear "well of couse it broke he didn't fill his engine bay with concrete. Its not the manifolds fault that it broke, every thin walled manifold brakes unless its encased in concrete." ::)

It's still a shitty manifold, please ban the next person to start a thread about SSinfluensa manifolds.

I'll have you know it's not easy to fit an LS swap, a turbo with a 9" compressor scroll width, a full lenth radiator, and 30x10.5x3 intercooler....under the hood of a CRX.

Thanks
