thanks

 

It'll work fine, won't last though.

 

Why do you say that? can you elaberate a little more this is the reason for the thread, i want to know good and bad and why, thanks for the reply.

 

Because its a chinese piece of garbage

 

o well wat about compared to the other one below and a friend of mine told me i should wrap them in heat cloth wrap befor installing the, what kinda of diff would this make, and how long do you think they would last on a monthly or yearly time line any one have a life span guess. thanks again.

 

if you wrap it, it will fail even quicker.

you are posting this in the section where people are making manifolds, some people in here are trying to make a living by fabricating. asking an opinion on a cheap ebay knock off manifold isn't going to get a welcoming response. do yourself a favor and buy something built in the us and support your local fabricators, not cheap imports. that manifold is the exact reason the domestic market for fabricating has been ruined.

 

Exactly. They take every shortcut possible, and have labour at a literal fraction of the cost.
It will fail, it's likely mig welded then TIG pulse overtop like alot of the imported stuff is.
I hope you bought 4 or 5 of them.

 

Wat if i tld you the person who sold me this is in the us and gave me a lifetime warrenty on the iteam and told me it would not crak or anything like the 100 manis on ebay, and no i bought just 1 lol. will see what happens thanks for the reply and ill keep updates im going to install to day.

is there any test i can conduct, with out breaking. or can this be reinforced be for install?

 

basically what everyone above is saying to you is this: its a cheap thin metal with bad carbon composition that has been poorly welded but has been polished and tig pulsed so that as the consumer looks at it, all they see is this amazing set of bent pipes that resembles what they see in a magazine costing several hundred dollars more and built correctly out of the correct material and welded thoroughly in the proper sheilded manner.

In short, this manifold was made by a 10 year old Chinese boy. It could last til tonight or maybe the end of the year depending on the turbo you hang on it, the quality of the poor welds, the tune on the car ( how high your EGT's are and how long you keep them high), and the care you take to install this item.

Support your country and have a local guy make you something. You may have bought it here in the US but he paid money to a foreign country to get that item here, so you might as well had bought it straight from that country. Warranties are only good for as long as the company is in business.

 

What if I told you weirtech is Jesus, you'd probably believe it.

 

I had a guy come to my shop last week with a manifold that was Identical to that one. The collector broke right off the manifold and the turbo was hanging down. These manifolds like posted above are made from very thin metal and will break. Theirs nothing you can really do to reinforce it. Good luck.

 

Well he can part metal with his bare hands and I have seen some truely impossible things come from his fabrication skills, so who knows.. he might be!

 

alright sounds like when it break ill just get another one , ill post back when it dos, any one want to start to bidding at 10days? 20?

i say never lol , but thanks i get the point now, hope it dosn't tho just cuz i paid money for it lol stupid me right.

 

I would secure your turbo and wastegate the best you can so when it does fail it doesnt cost you more money due to your turbo laying on the interstate at 70mph or possibly losing your WG all together. I have three manifolds that people have given me in just this state. Each had a great story to go with it when the manifold broke. Downpipe and intercooler piping usually will hold a turbo from departing the car, but wastegate might need a tie wrap from the hose barb to the valve cover or something similar, maybe safteywire it to the exhaust manifold studs.

 

thank you all very much

 

Not Jesus, just a Canadian

 

Well now we're just splitting hairs.
