You didn't mention it at all, but it could have been left out...did you happen to change your spark plugs at that time? I've gotten numerous calls from customers that describe the same symptoms after changing spark plugs. They forget to close the gap (or gap them according to factory specs)...

I second that. I think a lot of the MK4 owners originally purchased that car for obvious reasons, its friggin' sexy as hell, and has very good performance right outta the box. I have much more respect for guys who take a car which has very little aftermarket following (like the MK3) and turn it...

I finally pitched a tent in the Misc. Vendors section of this forum, so any of you interested in my work will be able to get a hold me. Posted a couple new pics of the FFIM as well.

An obvious case of... they really want more for the product, but can't ask too much for a "little plastic ring" so they jam you on the shipping to make up for it.

I am sure someone has the right answer, but the catch cans look cooler? Especially with sexy stainless braided lines running to it :-)

I have a Miller 251 with the "Spool Gun" option. For those who don't know, it's a lot like wire feed mig, but with aluminum. Its take a lot of practice, and its not forgiving what-so-ever, but with practice and patience it can look pretty good. Certainly not a Jessi James roll of nickles, but it...

Okay, I'll be the first to say...I like it.

A lot of you guys are asking for pics of the FFIM I have been working on, here they are. Third pic is one of the porting done inside at top of ports. (Sorry, I am not a good photographer) Please chime in on your thoughts.

Duane's car is truly one to be envied. Says he has a Ron R. turbo manifold though not RPS or GReddy, maybe he replaced his old one with a Ron R. since the whole cracking issue? None the less, a truly awesome car, and he seems to be a really cool guy.

Greddy and RPS both use thin wall tubing, same stuff as a typical header. Mine are made with 1/8"+ wall thickness, theirs maybe at most 1/16". Thats the difference. I stick by my statement that 304 vs 321 makes very little to no difference in a manifold cracking or not. Its not the grade of...

We got a world wide CF shortage and Catback is putting it in his engine bay...that baddass, I love it. I've never seen it done before. Good work!

I was sure with Duanes was using a top notch manifold, just pointing out that it does happen, and even with high dollar manifolds. I have never had one of mine crack (ever) not to say that some day it might, but I strongly doubt it to the extent that I will replace or refund the manifold.

Amen brother. Couldn't have said it better myself. I am not a pipe dreamer, I doubt that I'll sell more than 5 of these manifolds, to me that makes it even cooler , or more valuable to whomever does buy one. Somehow, companies like Snap-On still stay in business selling tools that cost many...

Alright for what it worth, I guess my main reason for even being in this business in the first place is one because I love it, and two because I can help people out. A lot of people need custom fabrication and machine work and don't know where to go for it. I don't know of any shops in my area...

I was looking through Ron R's post "building another header", he mention that he was in over $1500.00 in material costs alone. Not to mention hours and hours of labor. If you continue following that thread, he was building that one for a customer, not himself...and there were a couple of others...

Thank you BigA! I am so done arguing with this guy. "Arguing with people on the internet is like the Special Olympics...even if you win, you're still a retard"

One more quick thing while you've got me all spooled up :naughty: I think you would be hard pressed to find any Pro Import race cars running "ebay manifolds", downpipes, wastegates, BOV's, etc. Why is that? The most logical answer is because those guys are sponsored and have rediculous budgets...

Hey...I was gonna say that:-)

So what is the point you are trying to make then? Are you saying that because you buy and use Ebay manifolds and you like them, that there should be no other alternative available? I realize that it is a loosing cause trying to compete with SSAC on pure price alone or arguably value per dollar...
