good kit but it will take alot of bracing and probably wont last long??

interesting,

Seriously, i bought a SSAC twisted ramhorn and at first glance it looks pretty nice. Unfortunately, that’s not the reality of the manifold. This is what I’ve had to deal with…

1- All of the flanges were badly warped, cost me $100 to get them resurfaced
2- Needed a lot of cleanup of the welds on the inside with a die grinder
3- ALL of the threads had to be re-tapped
4- Included gaskets are junk
5- Fits like GARBAGE! I had to shave a LOT of the block away to make the turbo fit. The downpipe comes down too low and angles back up to where it’s supposed to be.
6- Even though it is “extra thick 3-2-1 stainless” and “Guaranteed not to crack”, I’m always going to fear that the manifold is going to crack apart.

So, I guess I made myself another fool that was sucked in by the uber cheap parts sold by ssautochrome. With the extra $100 I spent on the manifold and all the extra headaches, i feel like an idiot for not just saving longer to get a decent manifold. I would have been way better off searching for a used REAL manifold. Take it from those who have tried the products, or who know someone who has.

oh god not ssautocrap again.

thanks, well good thats why I asked.
what do you recommend?

p.s-why don’t you see supra s drifting often?

Had the same problem with my XS Power Manifold by ss autochrome. Warped,Cracked,and welds broke.
