-K1 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 i'm looking for a manifold and found this, the seller said it will never crack (warranty) what do you think : https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Exhaust-turbo-manifold-for-toyota-2JZ-GTE/32249856184.html?spm=2114.01010208.3.138.6vyN1H&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_4_10065_10068_10000009_10084_10083_10080_10082_10081_10060_10062_10056_10055_503_10054_10059_10099_10078_501_10079_426_10103_10073_10102_10096_10052_10053_10050_10107_10051_10106,searchweb201603_3,afswitch_4,single_sort_0_default&btsid=eeb320d8-9cbe-4c8d-856a-1fd33d583a2d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike2JZ Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 (edited) It's a chinese manifold... You might get lucky and it won't crack or you might have issues with cracking or pieces of slag finding their way to your turbo. If you buy it, then do yourself a favor and reinforce it and clean up the insides with a grinder if it's not already been smoothed Edit: If they are so confident about their work being of perfect quality then I am surprised to see they offer no warranty and no returns lol. Seems a bit too far fetched. Edited January 12, 2017 by Mike2JZ (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 (edited) Ask if they can send you detailed photos (externally and internally) of THE manifold they are actually going to send you and the spec of the materials used. I've worked with a lot with Chinese manufacturers and there can be a huge difference between a one off sample used for advertising/photography and the quality of the product that comes of the production line.
