Where is the thread to show who all has personally had a bad experience with these manifolds? I know a lot of people say they hear stories, but I'd actually like to see who all has personally used one and had a problem. Just for reference.
lots of people have had bad expiriences.........................just use the simple search feature on here and h-t. without additional bracing the manifolds crack because they are poorly welded and have penny then piping.
even with additional bracing they still run the risk of cracking. i dont understand why people just dont understand that you get what you pay for. sure, it will work, but the thats never the question asked now is it? The question always asked is: will it crack, or will it last forever? or even how does it compare to this other manifold that is for some strange reason $200-$300 more?
in most cases, but not always, but if you have to ask to be sure then that should be your answer. There are people who have ran these manis for months and maybe even years without a problem, and there are people who have ran them for minutes or even hours with terrible problems.
I personally bought a ccfab manifold because yes they are cheaper (not cheaply made by any means) and they are known to last with great quality.
