Talking Manifold ?

Are the manifolds sold on ebay by ssautocrome and others meant for single turbo upgrades or can you use the factory twins on this manifold.

It's for single turbo only, and they're pretty shitty anyway.

Thanks for the reply. I only paid 89.00 for it new. It looks good though.

Thanks, Joe

ssautocrome's manifolds are junk, I've gone through two of them and they both warped after running on the car for less then an hour. I also purchased a turbo from them which they claimed was a "Garrett" but it was really a cheap piece of crap. Oh yah and their warranties are also BS. I've emailed them about the bad manifolds and the turbo and there was no response. If they don't seem fishy to you just go read they're quality policy on their web page and than check out the contact section. They won't even give out a phone #. Just email them on a product you probably won't recieve any response. I'd avoid them they're a reason why all they're products cost 1/2 as much as anyone elses.

Yep, SSAC has been making high quality manifolds for a long time now:




For every one of these manifolds that lasts, there are probably 10 or more that break. That setup above was properly braced, too.

Their tubing is too thin and they hang heavy parts off of unsupported flanges. Ie, the wastegate...it falls off all the time on Hondas.

THAT is bad welding and design. Whoever made it obviously didn't test it. In cases like this, you get what you pay for.
