so i'm looking at ordering one of these in the very near future. i looked through and saw some people had fitment issues and some people didn't? can i get a final say so from some of you who still have them? also if anyone else wants one maybe we can get a little discount for multiple orders? wish i had been ready to get this last year when the US dollar was still worth something!

You typically need a group of at least 3-4 to get a discount. And I don't remember people having any major interference issues with them though. Mine fit perfectly, but I DID have to swap out my front oil drain line from the head to a SS braided one since it interfered slightly and I didn't want to try to bend it. I already had the head tapped for it too.

my greddy manifold cracked on me. it's repaired now, but i might be interested if it cracks again. do they do custom manifolds? i.e. i send him my cracked greddy so it can be cloned to avoid making another downpipe, w/g dump, and steering column dodging? wishful thinking probably

I doubt it, but e-mail Kyle and see if he'll do it. Do you know why it is cracking? (i.e. heat, lack of support, cheap material)

it cracked in a really weird spot that doesn't seem to get stressed by weight, so i think lack of support is out. my guess is a combination of a tough spot to weld + thinner/cheaper material + heat + vibration. it cracked symmetrically. 2 cracks across from each other in the same spot. pretty low and not by the collector. i did drive around for a day or 2 with my exhaust literally hanging on by a few threads of one bolt. forgot to tighten something up and didnt realize until i heard a bad exhaust leak under the car. that might have introduced a lot of vibration that could've hurt it. not sure.

Seems odd that only one runner cracked and that it cracked on the sides.

I'd say get a new 6boost and have your piping modified to match it. It is a large investment, but the piece of mind is totally worth it in the end. The AUD is still at a bargain price to the USD right now. He usually charges $1000 for the forward-positioned manifold, which is more expensive and the exchange rate has it at $838 today.

Pics? I'm not sure which 6boost design to get; the forward mount or the regular mount. I am running all the accessories on the engine including the AC compressor so I'm not sure if a forward mount manifold would work.

Any thoughts?
