I haven't looked at my evo's turbo/exhaust yet (stock) but on my eclipse the stock exhaust had a hanger that mounted to the block's front side for supporting the turbo/exhaust. I never understood why exhaust designs yank this as I don't personally think it's a great idea to support the manifold, turbo, and exhaust by the manifold and its head studs. I'd be surprised if stock the EVO didn't have one of these brackets. If so, perhaps you should consider the manifold there wasn't designed to support the weight of the exhaust and you should should add this support bracket. Considering the break point this seems a likely possibility but I have no experience in any sort of mech-eng fracture analysis

am i the only one that thinks this is ok, the manifold lasted for 2.5 yrs after which it broke and greddy made good on the situation as best as they could by selling you another manifold at a discount, they didnt have to do that. seems like good customer service to me. as for the second one there must have been a defect in it and im sure they will replace it for you.

it's nice that Greddy is willing to throw parts at him but I'm sure he's getting tired of pulling that turbo.

I've Had A Ebay Mani On My Car For 2.5, 3 Yrs And No Cracks

As I mentioned in the start of my post, I had the first manifold and the Greddy kit on my car for 2-1/2 years with no issues. The only difference on the car is upgraded cams with cam gears and I doubt those would cause the manifold to crack twice in the same spot.

I agree, but s**t happens. if you dont want to work on the car then dont mod it

Like I said, the customer service is great, but I'm pretty sure you would be pissed if you paid $3700 for the kit, $1500 for the install, $940 for the replacement manifold, and $500 for the install of the replacement of the manifold. And I am not including the cost of car rentals in there. If you have that kind of money lying around please send it to my paypal account because I can certainly use it.

Are the pics of the first mani you had crack or the replacement you bought. I assume the replacement was brand new? And who charges 1500 for a turbo kit install???

Actually, my mechanic said the same thing and you would think that a bracket would be included. That's okay, when I go back to my stock setup for the time being I won't have to worry about it.

The pics are of the first manifold and the replacement was brand new. The $1500 install also included some other things in there, but it was mostly for the turbo install.

GOD DAMN!!! $500 FOR INSTAL OF A MANIFOLD!!!!! YOUR GETTING RIPPED OFF HARDCORE!


sh*t, I'll instal manifolds for a 6 pack and pizza

Okay, I looked at my receipt and it said $380 for the install.

But I'll keep you in mind when I get my new manifold and need it installed.

just make sure he starts on the 6 pack AFTER the install. It's no fun when you get done and you and your help are staring at each other asking, "did you tighten that before we put that on" *shrug*

Thats shocking you'd think an ebay mani would go out like that not greddy, tho.

it's shocking to me that greddy has good support on their header. I remember trying to get help with a Greddy Profec e-01/e-manage setup years ago and they were useless.
