Can't he just have the car where he wants? so what if it has potential for 700+ on that dyno, it runs good now and there isn't much he will run into that he can't beat...

Holy crap who are you and what have you done with Aaron?

DH, no harm in that man, it is just extra conservative! Definitely get it tuned though, too little timing and too rich AFR can be a bad thing too.

I want to replace the fucker! Unfortunately the whole system is built around it. I'm welding it now... until it breaks again :beer:

Tubular manifolds were a nice idea, but never very good in practice, unless you go bawls out for a Shearer or comparable quality piece.

It's a South Florida Performance (SFP) manifold. Fortunately they are now out of business but as I understand it they used to be the shit back "in the day". My buddy Nate is welding it up now. I'm sure it will eventually crack again, I just don't want to spend $1k on redoing the exhaust setup right now...

I bet an fp race manifold and fp O2 housing would be cheaper and more durable than getting another tubular manifold if this one doesn't work out. It is a DSM flange turbo with the wg off the exhaust side of the turbo right?

SFP was fairly popular a long time ago, but I've seen several of their mani's crack so I'm not too surprised. Bummer it happened to you. Rewelding should hold it for awhile, until you can hopefully find a better, more permanent solution.

I love my sls manifold that I got from Halon! If you decide to go tubular I recommend it but you would spend a lot of money setting up your exhaust a it sits farther away from your motor and 9 times out of 10 the nice tubular manifold don't come in stock dsm flange..
