I saw this...



in a thread above and was suprised to see from the owner that it is a SS autochrome manifold. Ive been to their website http://www.ssautochrome.com several times and havent seen anything for the RB motors. Does anyone know for a fact that they do make these for the RB motors? If so, where can I go to get one? I tried e-mailing SS autochrome but after 4 e-mails I have yet to recieve a reply.

Any info is greatly apreciated.

I would stay away from SSAuto chrom manifolds. They seem to always crack at the welds because of the machines they use. Check freshalloy there is a thread about there manifolds.

Did they list a price? Check out SFR They just have an rb26 manifold, unfortunately, but it's ~$2k. Expensive but very nice.

yes ss makes manifolds for the rb20/25det. i emailed them questioning about it and they quoted me either 300 or 350 if it breaks big deal buy another and your still not even half what those other manifolds are. also, if your really concerned then get the thing over to a shop and strengthen the welds, then weld on a support bracket for the turbo. edit: sidenote. looking at that manifold makes you wonder though if its even worth it. i mean its not like its equal length, and the stock is already a log style, so how much gains would you really get from that one? seems like its not the best design to me.

Adding a brace will more than likely cause it to brake faster since it's can't expand. And is worth messing up your turbo for $350?

IIRC, SS Auto Chrome will replace the manifold if it does break.

Isnt it true that all non cast iron manifolds eventually crack? Thats what I always thought anyway. My roomate bought some headers for his tundra from ss autochrome and they where awesome, they fit perfect. I liked it so much I went and bought a catback from them $320 shipped. It fit perfect as well, sounds real good too!

Yes they do a manifold..

Do any of you actully think they MAKE them??

They all come out of the same factory in Taiwan... The manifolds you see for sale in Europe, UK, US, Aust, Asia, Russia.. all EXACTLY the same...
