Re: Exhaust Manifold
The weld won't hold.
My manifold cracked about 4 inches long on the inside (the side next to the
block) of the collector where all six exhaust ports come together. The
problem with this is the design, there is a huge amount of matal that all
comes together there, and it must be able to expand and contract, but it
can't so it cracks instead.
You should give serious consideration to a new header. This will do a couple
of things, 1.) the header is a 6 into 2 into 1 design that has greater
ability to expand and contract, thereby avoiding the cracking, 2.) the
header is a 6 into 2 into 1 design that will breath easier, and all other
things remaining equal, will provide better horsepower and greater fuel
economy. Did I say the header is a 6 into 2 into 1 design? If I did, I was
referring to the Borla, other makers might use a different design.

Check your owners manual to make sure it isn't under warranty
