Okay for those interested I official begin the 3rd batch of my td04 OEM Replacement manifold GB. Only the front unit will be sold in this GB if there is interest in the Rear/02 combo we can make a future GB on this.
Low angle merge collector
100% Tig Welded
304ss US made Stainless Steel
Ported matched runners
This is a 10 Manifold batch I have in stock and the price is 450usd shipped anywere in the United States
I did not explain myself correct , this Gb is for the front manifolds only I would have a rear/o2 combo manifold GB if more than 5 people are interested but this will be for the rear/o2 deal only I would not sell front manifolds on that GB.
So if you intersted, you can buy the front manifold from this GB and you can get the rear/o2 combo after.
Ok, mine doesn't have that brace? WHY? If it sags or cracks i'll flip. I already had to fix the flanges because they were not flat. I have already dealt with the garbage 3sx headers so please don't let me down.
Cause Gil over kills it when he makes these. Stock doesn't have one, neither do any after market ones. He uses much thicker material and now adds a brace.
Maybe I'm wrong, but the thing feels pretty damn strong.
Most stock front manifolds crack even with their bracing to the head.
It does feel strong but when you make a change to a design there is usually a reason.
I would like to hear the reason from Gil.
I didn't care I had to have the flanges decked. I took care of it but i'd at least like to know if there have been any failures and maybe that's the reason he added the brace.
Relax gentlemen, I added the support to give buyers a peace of mind , I had several asked to if it was possible to add extra support like the stock one, I told them it was not necessary that they could add if they wish, so this time I added the support to give those that have the feel is needed some peace of mind.
I stand behind my product I dont build shit! Pensky2thousand if my manifolds crank directly because of no support I would replace it simple as that.
The turbocharger is so light that really does not stress the manifold if it was thin guage I would be concerned but with .120" wall unless you were driving your car with broken engine mounts and the downpipe was hitting direct into the body causing stress on the turbo flange and vibration there is really no way these will crack ,that ofcourse defective material but I put this one to rest is Certified Stainless
Excellent. I agree it feels solid as a brick shit house. I hung from it with all my weight while under the car and it does not move. I'm really glad to hear you stand behind your product. I love the materials you used. Same thing I would use.
I plan to have the car running in the next few weeks. I really don't think i'm going to have any issues. My DP bolted up like butter so I should be good. No prying or force was needed to get the headers,turbos or 02's to bolt up either.
Ahh those nice pieces indeed, I have a set build but had no downpipes and require the wastegate outlets to be welded I did not have to finished them if interested I can sell em to you cheap pm me for pictures
