ETD shorty turbo manifold crack *&^%$#
Would this be fixable or not?
When I got it I wanted to slot the flange. Some people said all those who slotted it got a crack. Well I guess it cracks whether or not you slot it.

Welds never break, just the heat affected zone.
Sure it can be fixed. Clean it out, bevel it out / grind out the crack. Weld it back up.

Or this ABSURDflow one?:

artech mani's have cracked before
so have ABSURDflows
and a wittyworks manifold
All got repaired/re-welded and went on their merry way.
its just how it goes with an un-braced/supported tubular on a BP. how many miles is on yours? I'm pretty sure it's lasted you quite some time now

I have the FM exhaust brace which braces exhaust next to the cat, to the PPF.
Downpipe has flex joint (BEGI dual pipe, custom for ETD mani)
About 20k - 25k miles on it, and only a few track days, first one at 15 psi (was 10 psi).
