        yea awfully nice of them to pick it up for inspection!

        maybe with the compact design of the manifold it would benefit to add stress cuts to the flange, i've seen it done on lots of cars without issues.

              Jet-Hot is going to have the flange milled flat.

              I live my life a quarter pounder at a time. And for those 500 calories or more, I'm free. I need FRIES! Two of them. The big ones. Oh, and I need them tonight. You're lucky the double shot of BBQ sauce didn't blow the seam on your nugget box. There she is, 2 pounds of pure beef. My dad ate it in 9.0 seconds flat. Check it out, it's like this. If I lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if I win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, that's more important.

                Good to hear they're fixing a problem. How much do they charge to do a manifold?

                  Went and picked up the manifold from jet-hot today, they had it milled. I must say that they have been VERY punctual and on par given the situation. I think any other company would have said tough luck.
                  323 is back running, found a couple other problems with the head and stud threads but good thing I have two extras.
                  I did not hook up the exhaust from DP back because I dont like how tight it is which could have contributed to the cracking.
                  The center of the flange where it was milled the most is still over 1/4 inch thick so it should be ok.

                  Pics tomorrow.

                            Been driving on a open downpipe today. I will be having a 3" stainless exhaust made from DP back.

                            There is a flex pipe but going from the modded GTX manifold to the Skuce mani was not exactly the same so fitment was TIGHT.
