Bill hahn is fixing my manifold for free. It needed to be resurfaced after 2 years of beating on it, No cracks tho. That's why I always say stick with Hahn.

I must have called all the wrong people at HRC. When my manifold cracked, they could have cared less. I spent all week getting the run around about replacing it. I hate it when people don't call you back and you have to hunt them down. Their final offer was "ship the manifold to us and you'll have the honor of shelling out $450 for a new manifold, plus we keep your old mani". I had a friend weld the crack and resurfaced the flange myself. Cost me $30. You may consider ginding the crack into a valley and filling it with a super hi-temp epoxy. Check out McMasterCarr part number 7356A33. Its especially for cast iron and stainless steel. Its rated for 2,000F and holds up very well on a turbo manifold.

Your lucky, my star didnt crack...it came with a hole in it from the factory....I mig'd that the a year down the road the lower right bolt area of the fange cracked and broke off.....Go tubular...call alain!

I paid 500. for a new star and ceramic coated it for 100. i now have a 600 manifold and alain sells them for a whopping 275. oh it sucks to see yourself get owned.
