Found a nice crack in my passenger side manifold today. Doubt I'll be able to weld it up due to the position of it so if anyone has a passenger side precat manifold or a pair if they don't want to split them can they please message me. I could really do with not having to fork out for a pair of new ones from ACT at the moment so please help!

Thanks

I think there are some for sale in the classifieds. They look like bolt up which is pre-cat?

Good find!

That'll teach me for only looking at the premium adverts

Well those mnifolds I bought, they are in no better condition than the originals on the car. Came home early from work to make a start on fitting them. I started to clean them up for paint and noticed a small hairline crack around one of the spot welds between the tubes. I slipped a hacksaw blade between the tubes and cut the weld. Basically the weld had cracked the tube so Im no better off than i was but just lighter in the pocket!

Mine went the same, I'll put up a pic of the repair when I get back home at the end of the week. It isn't particularly pretty, but it definately works.
