ssautocrap-- so i have the manifold front them - looks clean -- tight FIT- very tight-- everything bolts up FINE - just tight - i hooked it up twice and noticed thati had exhuast smoke shooting up from the right side of the manifold - thought it was a bad gasket -- so i hooked it up all again after i changed gasket- noticed that its still doing it - dam ... It wont tightned any closer to the head on the right side- i can keep turning bolt that all the smoke keeps coming from and notice the manifold flex back and then go back to normal - hahahah- what a peace of **** manifold - lucky i didnt thow one of there turbos on there to .. .. so waiting to cool down and swap back on the Stock manifold - and look for a new one -- man that sucks -0 alll that work for nothing--- i figure in just going to have a buddy redo the hole manifold for me - so until then -- STAY AWAY FROM SSAUTO CRAP - --- its already been said --just wanted to relate my story to itthanks ------ will be running tonight for sure with the old maniofold

Yes it does suck. But you need to ream out the holes to get a "proper" fitment. The studs are getting stuck in the manifold holes preventing the flange from seating properly.

I have one too that I'm using until I can find a decent manifold that doesn't cost more than my engine. It's holding up ok. (for now)

and yet, you still buy. they need people like you to help their business growing. go to a machine shop and have the flange milled.

when you get it off take it to a machine shop and have it decked (resurfaced to 100% flat) and that will probably fix it , let us know

i was using the gasket with the manifold - they SUCK-- already falling apart-- phaze2 wants 40 for one- im waiting for the guy here on nico to make some copper ones - and price might just go with that- but as for the gaskets now they are holding up- found out copper krush washer for the oil line- need to be replaced - burning the oil as soon as it hits the turbo-- that s what i belive is the problemgoing to find out- tuesday cuz going boating to get my mind of the car.
