Tubular Manifolds

[LYNCHSTAR]

Does anyone rate these raceland tubular manifolds ive got one and had it for a while and its split on one of the welds:cry: very dissapointed i might go back to a standard manifold as the desighn for taking it of while engine is in car is ridiculous and if one weld has split im sure another one will split in time has anyone had this problem and gone back to a standard manifold.

Mines been on about a year now maybe a little more, i have made a support for the weight of the turbo and kept the downpipe support bracket too.(after reading others had cracked)
I personally love the sound of it and seems to rev so much free'r.

I got fed up of the constant drone on long runs and missed burble. Did feel a lot livelier on and off boost when fitted. Gone back to cast manifold but gas flowed.

gonna take it off this this weekend take it to work monday and weld it and all the other welds to strenghen it.

brace it well, with supports of the block if possible, the less movement less chance of cracks,
and dont wrap it either as it is known to fatigue the steel quicker .

dont over tighten the exhaust springs too much.

needs free movement
