WHY I THINK IT HAPPENS by Wizrdovoz on Sun Oct 19, 2008 10:05 pm
I was just thinking, i think the reason the cast manifolds crack is because they have so many different metal thicknesses in the casting it makes them expand in so many different ways and maybe they are cracking where the casting is at its thinnest and its probably cooling ( shrinking ) at a totally different rate than the rest of the manifold, hense the crack always being in the same spot. Tubular manifolds dont seam to do this as they are a much more uniform thickness and more lenght in the pipes allows them to expand and shrink mor evenly. 9 years of manifold fabrication and 18 years of general fabrication brings me to this conclusion.

And yours are individual tubes so they would not create as much heat singularly as the stock ones possibly.

And yours look much cooler 8)

I reckon you hit the nail on the head, plus the quality of the castings.

No great shakes on mine nothing drastic just decatting soon and took the cold start out of the system, fitted the new back half this weekend and it sits higher up thankfully as I thought it might hang down a bit, and Im lucky the tail pipe is nicely tucked up.

Its about all thats gone right this weekend on it :lol:
