Not one person in here has bashed the manifold. Not one. The ONLY point everyone has been tryin to get across is that it's a knock off of a well known and respected manifold made by a well known and respected vendor. You've spent thousands of dollars building that car of yours and yet your looking at this manifold cuz its 100 bux less than the real deal.

If your so set on it then just buy it and do a review already.

You want info, here, theres people you can talk to on tuners that say they have bought it.

yeah, me too, the construction on this manifold is awsome. Very well put together. The only difference is that it doesn't have velocity stacks, that is about it, it is a very stout manifold with very nice welds, i know for a fact that it isn't going to break. U just want to know how it flows. IT is by far better than the dejon intake manifold.

So you have this manifold then?

This is a great thread. I love the analogies floating around..."it's the same shape so it must perform the same". Damn, a Fiero is the same shape as a Ferrari F355. I guess i'll just go get a Fiero since it's cheaper.

Attention to detail is what differentiates this from the known vendors manifolds. Just with a quick glance at the pics...lack of velocity stacks, lack of a reinforcement for the fittings on the bottom of the manifold...i'm sure there are lots of other differences that you just can't see in the pics.

You obviously dont know how to read. THe first link is to your knock of JM Fab manifold. Perhaps if you scan the article alittle more closely you'll see that there were a couple people who said they ordered it and would post back a review.


Here's an idea.... why don't you go ask them how they like it. Or do you think im supposed to do all the footwork for you?

How do you know it isn't going to break? Have you pressure tested it to 40+ psi yourself? How do you know its better than the dejon? Do you have a flow bench?

Didn't think so...

His manifold has been tested to 50 psi. And is guarenteed not to crack. I actually found a good deal on a magnus, so i am probably gonna statch it up. 400 for it, it is the one with adjustable runners.

So is the SS Autochrome exhaust manifold...but see what that get's you?

Most every ss tubular turbo header will crack, because you are hanging the weight of a turbo off of it. IT you were to make a bracket to hold the turbo to the block, and than bolt the header on, they would never crack. The intake manifolds are a totally different story. They crack from pressure on the inside.

IF you are going to compare the reasons that a sheet metal intake cracks, to the reasons an exhaust header cracks, than you should go post in the newb section. These are totally different scinerio's.

The buscher's have been knowk to crack, everyone talks them up like they are god.

Everyone talks up bj's, even though he is a dousche, and owes alot of money to alot of people.

Now what i havn't got from anyone was a legit answer. Whether or not it made good power. We have established that most of the sheet metal intakes can be broken with boost, even the 1,000 dollor ones. Now i want feedback from someone that has used both, and can compare. Like i said, i am not buying this one for my current setup. But i would like to know for later down the road.

11secdsm, sean485, 90blacktsiawd, greenstreak, TEC, when you guys have tried and tested it, come in my thread and tell me about it, untill then it is the same as the guys that used to bash the ssautochrome intercoolers. You don't know untill you try.

As i stated, i don't care about the fact that it might crack, because any of them can have this happen. I want flow numbers. IF you don't have them, it is simple don't post. And don't get all mad and get pissy, because i did nothing to piss you offf, i started a lagit thread, and have got really nothing but flaming so far. I am not some newb, so don't treat me like one. Most of you should know who i am by now.

I was referring to the guaranteed part...not the cracking part. You could have a guaranteed piece of shit...doesn't make it good. It's just a piece of shit with a guarantee. :rolleyes:

Just buy the damn thing, this thread is retarded. You asked for opinions and you got them. You've defended this thing like a Bulldog manifold salesman and if your so sure it wont crack and the company will honor the guarantee then what do you have to lose? I wouldn't buy it, I have seen one personally on a local car and they aren't as spectacular as you seem to think, but its your money.

But a good vendor will stand behind the product and fix it, I have seen several cracked magnus manifolds but NEVER have I heard of a time when they didn't offer to fix or replace it. You will not get that from some fly-by-night knockoff vendor.

No, but we do know what works, what has been tested, the numbers are out there for you to look at and we know how much time goes into designing products that will add performance, not just look like someone elses product.

I thought you said it wasn't going to break?

From the way you talk "i know for a fact that it isn't going to break. U just want to know how it flows. IT is by far better than the dejon intake manifold." You already know that you are going to buy it since you KNOW that it is "better" than the dejon and you KNOW that it isn't going to break. If you want flow numbers so bad why dont you send an email to the vendor of that intake, I'm sure if its such a great intake they will have put it on a flowbench themselves and would be happy to provide said information to a potential customer.

it isn't the bulldog manifold, it is the specific ebay manifold. Like i said, i want flow numbers, noone provided me with them yet. Therefor my question wasn't answered yet.

The only way your going to get any numbers on any manifold is through the manufacturer.

So, I kinda wanna see some pics of an intake manifold that has "broken" from normal usage. I'm not yet doubting it, I just can't see a welded (poorly or not) box of amuminum simply dissintegrate. Especially with it not being subjected to constant extreme heat and cooling like an exhaust manifold. Any one got any cracked intake manifold pics?
