Problems w/ my maxrev manifold
I'm not too sure if i should be complaining, but with my maxrev manifold, the welds on the #1 and #4 runners seem to be halfway into the tubing. --- Bear with me here--- exhaust gases will hit into this weld, then go into the rest of the manifold, and it seems like these welds would slow down the flow of the exhaust gases.-- Don't worry, i'll post pics soon of what i'm talking about. Please someone prove me wrong.

Re: Problems w/ my maxrev manifold (integranator)
the log style manifold is based on pressure, not flow.
so no, a little bit of weld hanging in there will not hurt anything to a noticeable degree....1/1000th of a hp???
pics help though...

The effects of those welds would be marginal....borderline negligible on a log style manifold....like said above.

I'm interested in seeing those pics too. I had a thread on my problems with the maxrev manifold. you can email them to me at pjc22@hotmail.com and I'll
put them up on we-todd-did-racing

Re: Problems w/ my maxrev manifold (Pat)
loss in power will not be felt, but if you want it to be smooth grind that **** out with a file or dremel. but again it wont hurt

Is it true that each max rev manifold will turn out different because its not forged somthing i read in search about it being hand welded or made?

As far as the post goes...I wouldnt worry about it man. If your more worried about flow characteristics then start complaining about how the stock LS head flows for ****....almost like its constipated.

Re: Problems w/ my maxrev manifold (93LSivic)
its a log mani...they are put together and welded by hand, no jigs. as for the bead burning through the material, its schedule 40 piping...really thick! in order to penetrate all the way through, the current must have been maxed out. im curious to what this thing looks like.

Re: Problems w/ my maxrev manifold (javierb14)
Your telling us they build these with out a JIG? they just have some really good eyes in order to get all the flanges in the right positions to have the turbos actually fit. While I agree the log portion can be welded without a jig they must use one for the turbo flange. I have also penetrated sch 40 before. Its not that hard. You just need to heat the weld properly.

Re: Problems w/ my maxrev manifold (Overblown-Teg)
the "pocket" for the turbine flange is cut in a mill and positioned via a jig. that's the only jig used.....everything else is by hand. can i see a pic of your sch 40 weld?

Re: Problems w/ my maxrev manifold (javierb14)
Now these pictures are when u are looking DIRECTLY straight into the manifold.
See how the weld is directly in the path of airflow? Cuts out like 1/4 of the path.
This one isn't bad:

Re: Problems w/ my maxrev manifold (integranator)
What im trying to say is-- it looks like the path of the exhaust gas would just slam into that weld? But maybe im completely wrong, cas' i've seen another manifold look like this as well. It seems like they were in a rush or something, and welded the flange to the tubing off center??

Re: Problems w/ my maxrev manifold (integranator)
thats not "burn through", the inside of the port is welded to smooth the transition out. you can hog it out with a die grinder but as stated before, it wont make a huge difference. the log manis utilize pressure and heat to spin the turbine....flow isnt really accounted for in a log mani design.

Re: Problems w/ my maxrev manifold (javierb14)
So should i not care about it?? If i were to try to grind it down, i would start grinding into the actual tubing, and it might be unstable then.

Re: Problems w/ my maxrev manifold (integranator)
since it's a log mani, i wouldnt grind it down......if u do, there's plenty of material there. it shouldnt be a problem

Re: Problems w/ my maxrev manifold (Pat)
Grind it down. I did this on my max-rev manifold, and on my GF's d-series max-rev manifold going on her car. There isnt going to be any side effects from doing so, other than a smoother transition into the manifold.
