while i was checking my oil today, i was astounded to find a crack in my Lovefab Shorty manifold, right in the middle where the 2 Ts are welded together. I thought Cody's work was supposed to be the best!? i don't see what would have caused this to happen, especially in that spot where there shouldn't be any stress.

i don't have a pic yet, but i'll get one up soon.

i really can't afford much down-time, so i'm not sure what to do (have it welded back up? get a new one?). what do you guys think?

 

Make a brace for the turbo

 

um, he will fix it for you. The guarantee is part of the deal

 

[QUOTE=superstud] I thought Cody's work was supposed to be the best!? QUOTE]


it is the best.. get off HT, contact him and have him replace and/or fix it: he promises to so, get off here and contact him

 

Why not contact him instead of making a post about it? His ***** warrented for life...

 

Is this CNN headlines news or what?

 

this is one of those posts that scares people away from parts..... my lovefab is on the way now and i'm not scared!!!!! just gonna brace it all up nice. my .02, turbos should be braced no matter what

 

no manifold is invincible

 

Dont bring this to a thread man, handle it personally. This is how bullshit gets started.

WHOA WHOA WHOA!! sorry, guys i didn't mean for this to be a "i hate this crap it sucks" thread. i will be contacting cody about it as well.

but i need advice as to how to fix the problem in the mean time, and i kind of wanted to know if it has happened to anyone else.

i really don't intend to spread bad PR for Lovefab at all. i just wanted some help. (also, i knew the title would get a lot of hits, which is useful when seeking help) sorry again.

well either reweld it, or jb weld it

or send it back after you talk to cody

 

i may just get it re-welded (i only have a little 110v mig, so i'm useless), but how can i make sure it doesn't happen again? how do most people brace their turbos?

You won't put some JB **** on a Lovefad will you ??
contact Cody, he will Honor his guarantee for shure

Kranked

 

If it was one of the older mild steel shorties(I think it is, he emailed me), OR if it was purchased 2nd hand, the warranty does not apply. I will still fix it, but shipping is not included! You must pay your way for shipping at the least, BOTH ways if its across the border.
*edit*
No, my products are not crack proof. Ive made a little over 250 manifolds, and this is the 4th manifold to have cracked. A 1.6% failure rate isnt that bad.
I know more WILL come, its a fact of life, thats why the warranty only applies to ORIGINAL buyers, its sort of figured into the price that the manifold may or may not be shipped to and from once.

 

What a bunch of drama queens.

1.6% failure rate with free repair... you just cover shipping if you're not the original owner... sounds better than GE sleeves, yet you all want a set of those.
