Hi guys,

thinking of using the manifolds and kits from this company, would love to hear some past experiences on their products.

good or bad, let me know

 

Search "hermsfab", you will get your answer.

Few cars I have tune with their manifolds:

Warped header flange
Subpar welds

 

thanks for that, anyone else?

 

Lol hermsfab is a 15 year old kid who's mommy was nice enough to buy him some welding equipment, then somehow managed to score a job at TD Autowerkes. I just pray for TD Auto. that he doesn't operate a welder in their shop.






I'm being a little harsh... at least he's great at warping flanges.

 

I think when someone tries to open another business, doing the same thing they were doing before, under a new name, it's a bad sign...

 

i dont think he is involved with tdauto anymore

x2 lol

 

I am very glad to see we do our research on here. This helps people from getting scammed and ripped, and overall giving this type of racing, and sport a bad name.

Thanks for doing a little digging, it will be appreciated later on down the line by someone

Can someone explain how every damn one of his welds cracked?!

 

Because every one of his welds probably looked really nice, but didn't penetrate worth ****.

 

forgot to mention these cracks appeared no more than 2 months after he fixed them the first time. I was making 270whp @7psi.

 

ok, can i clarify, hermsfab is what they used to be, and before that they were TDautoworks?

TD Autowekes is totally different from Hermsfab, from what I understand, is that hermsfab worked for TD.

From what I understand, they welded most to all their manifolds and did most of the fab work.

This is from friends (many of them).

 

nahhh..there different

 

Wish I had saw this about 2 weeks ago... I ordered a top mount combo from them. We'll see how it looks Tuesday when I get it. Lets hope for the best.

That's what you get for being a penny pincher where it counts!

 

Thanks buddie

 

Yea it is Herman, I just spoke with him again. Hes a every nice guy. Told me I have a 2 year warranty on my manifold. Would fix for replace for free. Heres some pics.

 

Jonathan Scholz.... you purchased a clutch/flywheel from us....... no history of a turbo manifold in our system.....

Your right, the only thing i purchased from your shop is the clutch/flywheel. I never claimed to have purchased more. I never said anything bad about TD Autowerkes as a shop(I've seen your work and its top notch, I've also talked to Damien about future plans for my car and he is very nice and extremely knowledgable). I was simply surprised that he was working for you guys.

The only grudge I have with you guys is that you guys supported his habits. Every time i called I was lied to (even by Damien) about his where abouts. EVERY time I called and asked to speak for him I'd get a "Oh no problem I'll go get him." and somehow every time he JUST happened to step out for lunch no matter what time of the day I called. Then it got to the point where Damien said i couldn't call the shop to ask for him if it doesn't concern TD Autowerkes...

And in regards to Herman himself you guys are all right, he's a super nice guy to deal with. His business ethics are just not up to par. I had a fellow prelude member talk to him not too long ago, and according to him Herman claimed that it was impossible for him to have warped the flange. Yeah lol, I actually warped it myself... I'm just strong like that.

So Herman... I've got nothing to say to you, I'm sure Karma will take care of things.
And TD Autowerkes, best of luck as a business and keep up the quality work, however everyone has the right to know about how I was treated by you guys. I honestly don't think i deserved it, I am one of the nicest people you will ever meet, I treat people with respect, I dont hold grudges and i always smile . If i can offer any advice, don't bring down the rep of your shop for one of your worthless employees.
