thanks for the call Adam! Posted up in ny/nj/ct this morning. I missed my train took my Audi and thought the limp mode I was in was going to be easily cleared. I forgot my laptop so I posted up in the regional asking for help. It wouldn't have mattered though it wasthe POS mani, it'd cracked beyond repair on its longest road trip to date. I found another mani through a friend that just came out I'll keep you all posted. I'm not going to run any form of a tubular ever again. This. New mani on the market is cast has 100% lifetime warranty, top mounts like LEM but in t3 flanged.

Not all well made tube manifolds crack. Well I hope you have better luck with the new one then you have had with the old ones.


BTW didn't everyone tell you when you bought that manifold that it would crack?

It was a matter of what can we do now, without having to wait weeks. I never said it was a great manifold or even one I thought would last, I did however indicate that I didn't think it would have this many problems. No one had any other options aside from Full Race and I wasn't trying to go full tubular like that on a car I still daily. Even Full Race can crack and is really intended for drag use not track use. Considering I've maybe only run it at 16 psi for maybe 3 weeks and maybe 20psi for a total of 30 minutes. I had identical issues with the ATP mani, leaks were just as bad (just of a different nature and cause) and threw the car between rich/lean/rich/lean conditions that would prompt the car to go into LIMP mode just the same.

Their manifold is just made to produce more power. It might be well know for being used on drag cars but this is because of how many Honda guys use it. But they make manifolds for many other makes that use the manifold for drifting and road racing. FR even has their own sponsored drift team.


Well let me know how the new manifold works out and you know the deal I offered to you is always here if you need it.

BTW FR has had very few manifolds crack in the many years they have been making them and I expect the #'s have gone down even more now that they are robotic TIG welded.

So...if no tubular manifold, what cast manifold are you using for your 28RS setup?

Sorry to hear that. <So the Saga Continues>. Hope you get it right this time.

and info when it arrives. The biggest thing is I will be switching to a T3 Flanged turbo and most likely a 3071r.
