Thoughts? anyone else think the welds look kinda shitty? Just don't want to waste money

As I hear all the time, the cheap ones will crack and break. Hard to see close up, but ya those welds don't look that great. I would shell out a little more money for a manifold. Or buy like 3 of those for if/when it does crack.

I like the way a tubular one looks but there's no point in throwing money away for one that's not going to last. Just looking for now anyway.

My roomate got a cheap one off ebay and hasn't had any issues with it. Has been on for probably a yr and a half

ned032002 · 12-19-2009, 08:44 PM

So it's hit or miss I guess. I don't really run the piss out of the car...all the time, so I wonder if that would help make it last? Can you find out which seller he bought it from?

Yes it is hit and miss. And from my experience.....it was miss.
Honestly, you arent gaining anything from one...expecially a knock off. From what I understand, stock DSM manifolds flow very well, and it should be a while before you need an upgrade. Honestly the only full tubular manifold I would run is a DNP, but they aren't cheap. But if it was me, I would probably just throw on a FP manifold. I have an SBR cast iron manifold based off the EVO 3. And of course my car will never need anything more than that....it just may not be visually appealing to some people's standards...being cast and all.

Lol, speaking of manifolds, my buddy just got some OBX stainless headers off Ebay for his 07 SS tailblazer. They are purty and all and I'm sure he won't have any trouble with them (non turbo headers are alot more forgiving), it just trips me out that he put OBX headers on a $40,000 truck.

That's funny. I hope they fit better than mine did. Or better than Jason's for that matter. Pound that shit!

The collector, from what I can see in the pic, looks like a bunch of drunk welds got together and made a shitty weld-blob in the most critical portion of the manifold!

FP Race, 2g ported...or step it up to a 1k Shearer Mani. Depending on your power goals, either of the first two should suffice.

ned032002 · 12-21-2009, 07:29 PM

I already have a 2G mani, I'm pretty sure he ported it too so I guess that's my best beat is to stick w/ what I have. I was more or less looking for a better look is all, but not at a sacrifice.

Here's the one I just bought.

Love tubular also, but love cast iron. It's simple and will last.

Cavalier - This thread is about the 4g63 manifold. Not the 420a, please be careful when posting replies that your talking about the same car they are. I know it can get confusing around here will the 2 different motors.

ned032002 · 01-30-2010, 10:47 AM

+1^

Hope you bought the right one.

Was just showing what I got. Like I do to friends in person. Just showing something IM proud to finally get. First manafold. Sorry.

ned032002 · 01-30-2010, 07:29 PM

He wasn't saying that to be a di*k, he was reminding you of the differences so you wouldn't buy the one in my original link because it wouldn't fit your car.

SilvrEclipse · 01-31-2010, 10:21 AM

Yea I wasnt being a dick. We try to keep these thread on topic, if you want to show off the parts you bought that is fine. We all like to do it but do so in the Project section. I dont want people looking at this thread in the future and think that manifold will fit their car because they aren't paying attention to what motors fit what.
