LA Fab low mount manifold

[Marvymarv]

Has any one had any experience with these manifolds please, I’ve read that there is another company called 6 boost in Australia who make a GTIR manifold but it’s not a very good fit, flange business, cutting bits off etc

the la fab manifold is available in 347ss also

the pictures look really good and certainly well made.

it looks pretty awesome

what about turbo ??
it looks good also but chine rigth ??

It’s chiney not scrappy or rusty, probably black ceramic so loose chine. Rust rigth? Chiney wrist ? Soz it’s not a cost of living pulsar Shill Bill, not my fault you’re not having it off bro, sorry about that, god knows I am.

looks really nice, no experience with that company. i've had experience with tubular manifolds. if you purchase this particular one i hope it's designed so that it doesn't crack easily.

 

[Marvymarv]

If I’m honest mate, I’ve only seen this manifold and probably a couple of others, the 6 boost made one and the greddy one, oh and there’s a company doing a 3071 turbo listed for pulsar gtir that comes with a black ceramic manifold,

there wasn’t any particular reason for this one by any means, other than it’s the top listing on Google and for the money I’d hope it didn’t crack

So these crack if they are badly made? Or just the general design, as I say I’m really really shit at mechanical stuff, which must be annoying to people who know there stuff, sorry about that

thank you

I'm guessing your in the UK?

Why don't you get one made here?
It should be cheaper, (import taxes etc) you can spec it a little to your needs and any issues with cracking (if any) can be delt with here.

Plus your helping a local UK business too!

 

[Marvymarv]

Yes Uk, I mean do you have any company’s in mind who you have used, yep agree help uk business!!

thank you

Yes, cheap ones will crack and even half decent ones will crack over time. A combination of heat and no decent support bracket for said manifold. if you're running a 3701 on a tubular for example with no support, its a pretty heavy weight pulling down on the flange mani. All that heat and constant yanking from a heavy turbo ends up in finding a weakness somewhere. i once took off a tubular manifold no less than 6 times in a couple of years, That was a half decent one. Don't get me wrong, do want you want to do, i did. just be prepared for a few headaches. Hopefully these days there are bettter options and you won't have a headache.
