Unhappy broken Log-style Manifold

hello,

who had problems with broken log-style manifolds???

I did it, and I think it is a fundamental problem because of the length expansion under heat
on both banks of cylinders each of the last access from the main pipe burst out

pics come soon



sorry for my english.

You broke your stock exhaust manifold??

I have heard of aftermarket manifolds having cracks but haven't heard any one cracking the stock ones.

Shame on you for installing a cheap product.

Log style manifolds are a joke, they dont increase horsepower and they dont make a diffrence when racing. Just another way for manufacturers to mislead thier customers in selling a rip off product.

Waste of Money!. want something thats going to make a diffrence? Get something right

want to add power and not waste your money. Do something right from the begining that will make you happy onwards. get yourself some quality headers crafted from stainless steel.

you have propabley spent around $700-$1000 for this log-style manifold claiming it is better than stock and gives more power, Now you know better :-).

if you had spent an extra 2K, you would have gotten some quality headers with mids that will defenitly not break and will give you a big smile on your face.

conclusion Dont go cheap when tuning, if you cant afford it, stay away from it, it will hurt your engine

I partially agree with this as it applies 70% of the time, but that being said it can happen to all of us! Thank you for taking the time to post this but it would also be useful if you post brand and price so that we can be wary! I love that Jacob is so passionate about this although alot of us are not as financially capable and sometimes take shortcuts with varying results! All in all I'm sorry to see this happen, hopefully there's some extra cash in the piggybank to go out and get yourself a stronger set!
