I would agreed that all turbo manifolds end up cracking with the exception of fullrace.

 

Do you need to use arp manifold studs or can I use the stock ones

 

I'm sure you could use OEM

 

Yup, made 650/500 (Q16)

Loved the mani, however it did crack a few times. pang fixed it, no charge with super quick turn around

 

mine cracked once but that was because my motor mount melted and the mani hit the frame rail. Every turbo manifold will crack from stress. gotta pay to play and Pang's warranty kicks ass. He got my turn around done in a day and resurfaced all the flanges free

 

i revive this old 2014 to know if the cracking pfab manifold have solve the probleme ? really considering to use s200sx-e supercore to match it . looking for 450-500whp

thanks

 

Mine has been fine and it has many hard miles on it no cracks yet...lol

 

Pang is the best. I just got my repaired manifold back. It was my fault the mani cracked, i had bad motor mounts and my recent incident caused the mani to slam against the chassis causing the crack. But its repaiared and reienforced with extra tabs welded in.


turnaround time from the day i shipped it and got it back was 10days, thats including ground shipping!

 

If it wasn't checked or resurfaced, just for piece of mind I would at least just stop in at a machine shop and have them check both flanges with a precision straight edge. Since it's off an all could save u from future headaches... It's a worth while inspection to me.

glad u got her back quick!

Just realized...it's a top mount lol, in that case. That's a weird break where it was ...to me.

 

And this is where I have to think there is obviously something different. Cause FR manis are FF so to me that puts the most stress on the entire unit as a whole sooo? What gives?
