That manifold doesn't look like it would bolt up safely to the engine. I see where the exhaust stud might hit the manifold.

 

I will say one thing, you never ever ever should have mailed back that manifold until you had proof that a refund was coming (proof meaning a credit card statement)! You let them steal from you! Hopefully it works out in the long run, but short term, you screwed yourself.

 

uhm did you ever think maybe the guy thought he was dealing with a reputable company and the last thing he thought would happen was them take the manifold back and give him nothing in return?
this is bull im in the market for FI and i have plenty of money that will NOT ever go toward that company.
i hope other s2000 owners see this and feel the same way. i feel bad for this guy this is absurd

 

Spent at least 15,000$ with them never had any issue and were always a pleasure to deal with.

 

I am sure he "thought" it was a reputable company. In this day and age though, I would not trust anyone over the phone or thru emails. To me its just common sense and my lack of trust.

 

Keep it open

 

thats because you spent 15k............

 

Just trying to even out the field a little, everyone is extremely quick to bash people on forums yet they have NO experience with the said company. I have and haven't had any issues.

 

I'm just posting this just to clarify a few things. First of all, Trackforged was extremely helpful and friendly to me at the beginning when I was asking about their manifold. They informed me multiply times that the largest size turbo that would fit without notching the frame is a 6262. During this time, they also told me that they had to outsource welders since they were so busy. It took them over a month to make my Ramhorn manifold. The first one came out unusable, so they let me know they had to scrap this and make another one for me when I called to ask for updates. Like many of you guys, I assumed that I was getting a quality product from a reputable s2ki sponsor. When I had fitment issues, I called and they said my Innovative motor mounts were the cause. They had a change of tone from this moment on. When I mailed the manifold back, they were in no rush inspecting the things mentioned. They did not offer me a refund, and gave me the next week runaround. This gave me no choice but to dispute the charges. Months later, they still have my manifold, and refuse to give me a refund.
