That sucks man. Definitely no fun pulling 3/4 of the turbo kit off to replace manifolds.

I was helping a fellow member work on his G35 that had the GTM TT kit and we found large cracks on both manifolds also

What causes the cracks due to mis-installation? What are the installers doing wrong? Curious because I just ordered the HR Twin Tuner Kit.

$910.00 for both sides, not to forget $300-$400 for shipping to ME.

So wait you have to pay $1,300ish to get your manifolds replaced??? I'm not sure if you've looked at it or not but have you noticed if the down pipes and exhaust meet up really well or do you have to move the exhaust around to line them up? We noticed the down pipes and exhaust didn't line up very well so you had to kind of push the exhaust into place which we think caused an extra amount of stress on the manifold. Maybe figure out a way to put in an exhaust hanger there to prevent the manifolds from cracking again
