Have you heard the horror stories from Supra guys yet on those manifolds? The horror stories of their other manifolds are . Even if you rewelded all of the welds on the manifold, watch closely for cracks in the actual tubing that the header is made by. A guy I knew had an SSautocrap on his car that had been rewelded and 1000 miles later, the turbo almost fell off if he'da not checked. Good luck though, otherwise, the setup looks great.

No looked alot on SF there are alot of people running these with no problems what so ever. Every one who posted on those threads had a friend or knew someone who bought one for another car and had problems. The problem is too many people go with the bad that they hear(which cannot be backed up), maybe you can post some 2jz-gte manifold horror storries Or maybe you should look alittle closer and relize its not a difficult peice to make, and paying 6 times as much would be stupid. If you look closly someone has had every manifold crack of do something to them if they get it hot enough(except for maybe the True race mani). I think Andi B. did a write up alot time ago about craking mulitple manifolds and going with a simple cast one. Tell what you could do better for $230 shipped.

Nah, best time for the day was a 10.3@143 with a 1.67 60ft. Believe it or not, I was loosing traction at the end of 1st and into 2nd gear. I am used to a slick, so I have to heat these et drags up a bit more to hook
