OMG What a pain in the ***!! I didn't have to bend a wrench or anything.. just had to find the right tools.. its not too bad, but there are some nuts that are in some tough spots!! Got it ceramic coated. Hopefully that will help Also ported and polished it.. did a little polishing on the outside to remove the "cast" look.. kinda hard to tell in these cell phone pics. My old ATP manifold had a crack on top that i noticed, then when i pulled it off.. holy crap!! the thing had cracks all over the under side.. I will try and get some pics of those later on.

 

Sweet man, good deal

Any performance differences?

 

very nice looking. how did your atp one crark. the atp one george put on my car was huge and would never crack. what do you have on there now? looks like another atp one?

 

id put some kind of bracket on that, to take some of the stress off of it

 

ATP makes crappy manifolds. Bunch of *******. You have to use custom wrenches on their other manifold.

They also sent me an unfinished banjo bolt. *******.

 

atleast there is a lifetime warrenty on the,.. you just have to deal with changing them out and filing for a warrenty every once in a while..

 

yeah, a little bit. It allows the gases to flow faster and therefor spool up the turbo a little bit quicker

The ATP one cracked due to bad casting Yeah its another ATP manifold.. Im hoping the ceramic coating will help prevent any cracks in this one. Which one did George put on your car??

The bracket would actually need to be on the downpipe/testpipe to the transmission to support the weight of the turbo

You only have to use custom wrenches if you dont have the right tools

yeah, this one was a warrantied one.. at least they offer that

 

lol such an efficient answer.

 

Yes that is a nice beast

 

The other manifold they make with the T3 flange doesn't have enough room for any wrench and the angles won't work either. The one you and I have is a bitch to get on, but isn't nearly as bad as their other one.
