That does blow. When you spend top dollar you should in return receive a top dollar product.

Forgetting an entire weld is pretty bad.

They probably didn't finish it because the guy got swine flu.

VENOM Intake manifold FTW! That sucks man. I guess you can't say you get what you pay for on this one. Was never a fan of them especially after the test results here on Mitsustyle.

Actually the new magnus has a different velocity stack design. When I get one that actually has all the welds Im going to have his retest the new design to see if theree is any improvement

I dont even know what to do, I really want this manifold, but do I return it and order a new one or have them fix it? And Im pissed I havent even gotten an email back, WTF!

I have had similar issues with mine, it is currently back at Magnus right now being rewelded (I hope). The #4 runner was split on 3 of the 4 sides where the runner meets the flange, and has never seen more than 19psi or supporting anymore weight than just itself.
Also last fall my Magnus throttle body broke. The shaft that holds the plate snapped in half where one of the bolts were and sent the bolt down 2 of cylinders in 2 pieces obviously. When I called them to see if they would at least warranty the shaft (not to mention that my engine now needed to be rebuilt) they examined the very detailed pics I took of the damage and then wouldnt call or email me back after several attempts. I wish I wouldve spent the few extra dollars and bought the AMS.

My experience with an intake seems to be on par now. I picked up a parts car with Magnus intake mani on it. Pulled the motor swapped it into my 2g and everything seemed good. Did a boost leak test prior to start up and heard some air escaping. Sure enough, it was a crack around the welds on the #4 runner. Did I mention I had the intake freshly powdercoated... so sand it down and have it welded up. Should work fine now.

I'm pretty sure they never polish the side of the plenum that meets with the runners. Mine isn't polished there. That's just inexcusable that they missed an entire weld like that though. Good luck on getting it sorted out.

I got a call from them today. They said they are finishing up a new one for me and it should be out today! Now I am happy. I gotta send the old one back asap. And I realize that mistakes happen up was mainly upset about them not contacting me.

Damn,

The missing weld? Cmon..

I had one a few years ago and it cracked 3 times on me.

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

Glad to hear they are getting it taken care of for you.

You're not the only one. My Magnus wasn't missing welds but the welds had 3 pinhole sized air leaks. Their QC sucks! Don't know why they don't pressure test these. I didn't even bother calling them, I just had my brother welds it up. I will never do business with them again in fear of receiving worse the 2nd time around.
