New T4 Manifold - JHRacing

garychios · Dec 20, 2009

Actually, by the time you mail it back etc, you can pay a few bucks more and have it fixed locally. Also, have a support bracket made.

Also, I have thin walled tubing, and it costs more (Inconel something) It works very well.

I also feel your pain, I paid big buxs on my manifold to only modify it recently because I had a problem with servicing it. My manifold was made by a dsm shop, the only thing that I let a DSM shop touch, and I am not happy with it. Bottom line, I prefer muscle car shops to do manifolds, chassis work etc.

Bringing this thread back to life...

I assumed this is a T3 JHR with single wastegate? Do you mind posting up more pics of the cracks and also show the whole manifold including the wastegate outlet? The 2nd and 3rd pics you posted don't look like a JHR T4 divided manifold at all.

I have one of his first batch T4 manifold and the materials he used are very thick. I wonder if the later batches he used different weaker materials.

Agreed

I agree also. I'm not accusing him of lying but that looks just like the collector off an Ebay manifold lol. Better pics would be appropriate.

I think Im very capable of knowing the brand of my manifold and who made it, if JHRacing was actually around instead of hosing people I'd tell him to put up my invoice. If you actually believe I would take the time to try and rip off JHRacing for a $60 dollar repair bill, or send back an 'ebay' manifold and expect him to send me a JHRacing manifold then you're an idiot. I apologize for not having a photoshoot with the cracked manifold upon having it repaired, any competent person would be able to identify the manifold given the pics. None the less here is all the proof you need, hopefully it's enough for your irrelevant post.

This is a pic of the manifold on the motor (pre-crack)...Yup, looks like JHRacing to me.

Here's another angle for you. Hopefully while looking at these photos you can make an educated comparison with the photos I posted up when the manifold cracked.

Here's another one, still looks like JHRacing to me:dunno:

But wait there's more! Here is a video of it on my car.

You are indirectly accusing me of lying but no need to get into semantics. As you can see below it is in fact a JHRacing manifold, same table, and same cracked manifold from the other pictures. Leave it to the DSM community to look past a shady vendor and accuse the buyer instead

I'd also like to say it again, It's pretty much impossible for me to be refunded the repair bill for the 'warrantied' manifold, as it is impossible to get a hold of JHRacing. I am not saying his manifolds are junk, it seems to be very high quality. My issue is with the customer service and business ethics, which in my opinion matters the most.

This crack must be appear on the THIN Metals , since all the JHR manifold owners said its really THICK and Heavy Steel Tubing , i thought you maybe wrong or something . Cuz im a TIG Welder and know alot things about all types of SS .
To be honest I cant see the crack on the JHR manifold Pictuers on the engine that you sent . but its possible .

All of those pictures accept for the 4 pictures where it's pictured on the metal table are all before the cracking occurred. Defacing any claims or concerns about what kind of manifold it is or who built it.

Now since you don't seem to think things out, I originally made this thread to bring it to everyone's attention I didn't receive any warranty help or contact from the owner when the time came. Many answers to your questions and concerns can be deduced from that.

If you honestly think I'm trying to rip off JHRacing with an ebay manifold then you're clearly not all there in the head.

You don't have to believe me though, you can try calling JHRacing yourself...let me know when you get a hold of them.
