Default Greddy manifold replacement, options?

Are there options in replacing the greddy turbo manifold? Mine recently cracked and greddy states that they do not warunty their manifolds. They said they will sell me a replacement for $600 + core.

I wouldn't feel comfortable using another one of their manifolds if they are prone to crack.

Thanks in advance.

I know how you feel, ive had the original tubular Greddy crack and now my cast one has done the same.

Bit the bullet and replaced it with a Mase manifold instead.

I'm almost positive that I heard Pang at Pfab has made a replacement manifold for the Greddy kit that you can use with the stock turbo. Call him!


IMO you should do what i did and ditch that damn Greddy kit and get an Inline Pro or Mase kit!
After a ride in my car you might agree with me.. That is unless you get too scared during the ride.

Really they won't warranty that? That's the one damn piece they should cover. A cast mani should be super durable! WhAt's up with that greddy

Just get PFAB's replacement manifold. You already have the CARB certificate. No smog shop in California will ever know the difference between the Greddy manifold and any other.

Just make sure that you recirculate the wastegate back into the downpipe (if his manifold uses the stock greddy internally gated turbo, this is not necessary), and are running a catalytic converter in order to pass the tail pipe sniffer (emanage will get you through OBDII compliance).
