So yesterday i was driving around, not even boosting, and i hear a huge pop.. so i pulled over popped the hood and looked around, didn't see anything weird, didn't really smell any exhaust fumes or anything and my air fuel meter was reading normal..

This morning when I started the car it sounded horrible as soon as the engine fired, a lot of bogging and putting. i knew something was up, so i took it to my friend V at autograph car and popped the hood, and almost instantly he noticed a crack in my manifold, i have no idea how didn't see it, but that not being the point, we have emailed Dezod today because its been on my car for only 4 months and this shouldn't have happened already.im hoping that they will send me out a new one or fix this one because the crack is right on the weld, I'm not sure if this is a manufacturing defect or not. Not saying anything bad about them, I've had no problems with this kit yet . I just hope its under some sort of warranty. we will see.

The boys at dezod are good people they'll set you up. ive yet to see a cracked dezod mani thread end bad.

 

another one bites the dust![music playing]

 

Is this common with the Dezod kit?

 

^unfortunately.. hate to say it... yes.

OP did u have spring bolts on ur downpipe?

 

What are the odds me and another member were discussing manifolds today and I said I hope dezod fixes there unit and here we have another broken mani.

Well Dezod it's time to introduce a EL manifold and scrap that log style.

 

im with SoFlo, did you have the donut gasket with spring bolts installed between the downpipe and Spipe?

 

watching furiously

Take a few shots of where your downpipe connects to your s-pipe for further verification and the numerous questions you will receive.

 

damn another one?

At least theirs were installed correctly using the doughnut gasket and spring loaded bolts that are supposed to be used with the setup.

 

lol. ok so i was thinking it was people bad luck but now i am starting to wonder! CASTIRON FTW!

 

dezod should take care of this as they always have.. but yeah any spring bolts or some flex joints used?

 

I just bought a Dezod Mani off someone on here.. oh dear.

 

not another one..

 

yeah i have spring bolts installed. more pics up tonight.

 

yeah, but manifolds can also crack from high EGT's when tuning. so it can sometimes not even be paul's fault.

 

but all the same manifolds? all the same problems? shouldn't sumthing be changed if that was the case?
