Turbo manifold advice needed
Can anyone tell me if the ssa turbo headers are worth buying. Iv heard mixed opinions but havent spoke to anyone that has them. So if anyone can help me id like to know if theyre worth buying with a possible Jet Hot coating. Thanks

If you have some tools to work on them and want to spend extra money to get the welds redone go for it. It's a pretty good design, but I know that old manifolds su*ked as$ in quality.
and yes, you can Jet Hot them!

unless you are planning on getting the welds redone.. i dont recommend it. If the heat/stress causes a crack, you will have to reweld it, which will ruin your ceramic coating. Its your call..

Thanks guys...i think ill just get Tims...i dont want to spend the extra money...but Corkey Bell tells me that other than the oil lines the exhaust manifold is the most improstant part to spend the extra cash to do it right.

Yeah I have had several SS Auto chrome Mnaifolds come by the House for Rewelding cause they broke, and it is a pain to reweld.
That is why I don't mess around with 16g thin wall manifolds for mass production.
And all of my stuff is now 100% Tig Welded for the Extra Strength.
