Arnt the Ats, htt, pdi and bd all made at the same spot just with different names? I rember looking at an Ats vrs a bd in 07 and couldn't tell a difference and they had the same number on them. Either way I have a header now LOL if it gives me any problems I'm going with a steed.

I've had 3 PDI manifolds crack on me.
These pictures are from one of them
This seems to be the common spot where the PDI's crack. Mine did the same, wleded it up and no prblems.

I was going to say that is nearly identical to the one that you welded up.

Well I was curious this weekend and had to look at the one I bought off of here closer. It had a quick coat of black paint on it wo I sand blasted it off and this fukr is cracked too FML! I'm guessing he knew about it and didn't tell me since it looks like it was repaired but it's still messed up... Sucks

I have had 2 POS ATS manifolds crack on me.
The 1st one was on my 12v where the back ear cracked and just fell off when we were swapping the turbo manifold gaskets out.
The 2nd one is still on my CR and going to be removed soon.Its split where the turbo flange is at and leaks worst when cold.
And we will not even get into how poor their high temp coating is and how quickly their manifolds rust.No more for me either SS one will replace it......Andy

So how fixable are these? Mine looks just like highfinace97 to a t besides being half way welded on the inside...

That's like guy porn, nice seeing new companies engineer something a little different.
