Want Your Experience With This Manifold

[anteversion]

Yeah i know i know, lots of threads have been started about ssautochrome tubular manifold and other ebay knock off some shit stainless things. I've read all possible post on any forums that i've found on that subject, but i've never found some real review about it. Its always the same story about the kid with his honda that nobody knows and has never seen. Its always some i've heard and it has been made in china so thats crap. I all Know this already like anybody else. I've just never found some real reviews and experience with, so i will make the post by myself to trying to have some answers.

I know this thing i thin and have been made with cheap stainless, and mild steel flanges. But the welds are really goods and the manifold look not that bad seriously.

So Please, dont make me any comparison with good brand and well known companies that are making some 800$ manifolds: i know they are better. I paid 120$ for it and i know that i've got for what i paid for.

I just wanna know if someone have ever purchased one of those kind of manifold( not OBX, not other forms but this exact desing ) and what are the result that you have got from it.

I will tell you alot of honda guys around here have them and they blow holes in them all the time. I order one long time ago never ran it but when I put it on a spare block to mock it up with the T3/4. The compressor cover would hit the block and not allow the turbo to even mate up to the header.

I've even seen the flange under the collector break allowing the turbo to practically fall off.

Not to tell you that i dont believe you, but i wonder how can the compressor hit the block since these manifold afford more clearance to the block than the oem cast manifold

Who cares dude you paid 120 bucks for it.If it cracks or breaks just buy another .I don't why you asked your just going to hear a bunch of bs from people Should of just got it put it on,and seen what happened.No need to hear everyone talk about how its going to fall apart and crack and blow holes threw it and yada yada yada blahh blahh blahh cause they have a 800 dollar manifold that someday will crack also All manifolds aren't worth a damn in less its made out some unbreakable or indestructible material that doesn't exist .Try it then you can be the judge cause everyone has different luck

I've had this happen twice to me with this manifold on my old 240sx sr20 car. The 2nd time it happened It bent an oil line in the process
