Cracked Greddy Manifold :(
#12
Here our my two cracks . I called greddy and they said they will send me out a new manifold, but they are not sure if they can cover installation. Unfortunately my car is still at a shop so I am hesitant with what to do.

I am sorry to be off on the topic, but do you experience any rattle around 3k rpm on this setup?
I notice on the picture, the manifold is touching the down pipe...

Before it arrived I called Toshi and asked him to cover installation. He told me to get my installer to call him on the phone just before they installed it so they could come to an agreement over the hourly rate they were willing to pay. My installer did that then faxed a copy of the invoice to Greddy to get reimbursed. I never had to pay a dime. Just suggest this option to Toshi as I recall him also hesitating when I asked him to cover my installation fees. He just can't agree to _anything_ right away because there might be some shady installer trying to rip him off by charging crazy hourly rates. He'll come around. Just be polite.

My car sounded just like a truck and smelled like a poorly maintained yellow school bus that whole week.

Greddy was very professional, i also had the cracked tubular manifold, and they replaced it free of charge with a cast manifold. Talk to toshi or tim, very cool guys to deal with. I fortunately live close to greddy east division and i was able to meet up with toshi and tim personally at the warehouse. But just tell them your situation, and they'll take care of you

I'd be upset if they just gave me a cast one - did they at least give you the option? The cast one must be making much less power right?
