Really? That's ironic. Actually the manifold is robotically tig welded by Full Race. So did it crack because the ZPI label was placed on it? Or because it was in a ZPI kit?

I <3 haters.

That manifold pictured that cracked was NOT robotically TIG welded. It does not look like that lol. Regardless of who made it, def not making acusations, but that's not robo-welded.

Agreed..."haters"...i have nothing to hate about, especially with ZPI products. Three different people with three different issues using ZPI products turned me away from it. I'm constantly being told of bad things with ZPI. I shouldn't have said anything because it didn't surprise me and i personally haven't used ZPI products...not a hater

AND, what's your point. Your comment was stupid. You make a dumb comment like...."because it's ZPI".

Hmm....lets see what would I rather have.

Maybe you should do a little research and make a track record of the problems other people are having.

GReddy = stuck manifolds creating blown engines
TRD S/C = leaking S/C and voided warranty from changing pulleys so your screwed

And the rest, you just don't hear ANYthing about. At least not on here. Yet a small crack in a manifold that could be taken care of in 5 mins is this BIIIIGGGG SHOW STOPPER! that some how magically reflects on every product in their catalog.......Give me a freakin break dude...

I swear if it's not one thing, it's another. If the manifold was green instead of bronze color, you would probably find a way to complain about that. Do you even have a ZPI product on your car?.....Yeah NO...didn't think so.

Again, it could have been from the old batch.

Greddy WGA has nothing to do with cracked manifolds... The greddy manifold is a beautiful piece, inside and out. Just to clarify and keep it on topic.

"I yesterday notice that there’s a crack on my zpi turbo manifold. Biting Nails What should I do? I can't remove the manifold this week because it's my daily driver. It will have to wait several weeks to fix it. Do you guys think it's safe to drive the car like this? Or should I fix it right away? Does anyone have had this problem with there zpi manifolds? Do you think zpi warranty there manifolds? "

There is the original message he posted....which he got an answer to...all of the questions.....and yet.....here...we are....still fighting over which company makes what, and what looks better.....

AND, what's your point. Your comment was stupid. You make a dumb comment like...."because it's ZPI".

Hmm....lets see what would I rather have.

You mean.....lets get back to the bickering and arguing, thats cool I am out...then....good to talk to you guys...will stay in contact so we can do that cruising!!

You so missed my point Zer0.

And I SERIOUSLY wish people would stop judging a products reliability on the way it "looks". If the WG is a part that you immediately have to look at before you EVER put the kit on.....that's just not a gamble I'm willing to take.

And I was making a comparison of quote-unquote WORRIES that you might have with a ZPI kit (i.e. if you got a manifold from the old batch, you might get a crack that you would have to take 5 mins to get welded up), vs. If you bought some of the other respectable F/I systems out there....the problems they have come across (i.e. blown motors, cars shutting off, oil leaking all over the engine bay...etc.).

And this douche comes in here and makes a big deal about a crack saying "it's because it's ZPI", insinuating that they make Poor quality parts.

yeah, but imo, the way an engine part "looks" is not a means to recommend it. when it comes to engine mods, "How does it perform" (i.e. will I still have a running car after I install it, and beat on it for a while), should be the basis on recommendations

It doesnt matter who makes the manifold, any manifold can crack!!!! Full Race manifold cracks are you gonna say "cause its full race" or what if a dezod manifold cracks, or a tnetics??? Cant blame it totally on where it came from. It doesnt matter long as the issue is taken care of right?
