My exhaust manafold CRACKED! Now I have a exhaust leak under the hood and I am being gassed when stopped at idle. It is worst when the engine is cold, and gets a little more quite when the exhaust is hot and expanded. I took pics after removing my 35$ turbo heat sheild. Heat sheild is now shredded, its only good for one use. Forgot cable to attach camera to puter. Garm I hope your listening, this is from your store. I will send a message to you soon.

Ok I just got a call back from Garm (Cali Yaris) at Micro Image. And he said he will warranty my manafold and cover shipping to return the cracked manafold. Thats A-one service in my book. I understand shit happens and parts break, but its much less of a hassel when the seller stands behind there product.

Here's your problem:

I drive it like I stole it. Floored several times a day.

... Or is it the solution?

[cali yaris]

going out today, but you didn't answer my email yet: "Do you have the mani with the external wastegate flange?"

And an important question: Are you using anything to limit engine movement?

E mail answered. I do not have anything to control engine movement but I do have a mesh flex fitting on my downpipe to allow engine twist. I have been looking for somekind of brace or arm for the top of the motor to control twist but I haven't found anything. What are U using Garm? And lets see it on your web store soon.

Pics of cracked manafold. Garm is sending new mani. made by someone named Dezod. Hopefully it wont require to much modification. Its going to be 9 degrees here on friday.

[Bluevitz-rs]

Do you know anyone with a welder that could run a quick beed along some of the crack to seal it up for now?

I did that for a friend and got him through for a few months before he got a new manifold. Did it right on the car.

[pimp my yaris]

Ya I might have to do that. I dont know if the new manafold will mount the turbo in the same place and same position. I dont want to deal with fabricating a new down pipe in the middle of winter.

Yo pimp how where your afrs with the exhaust leak? Where you lean at idle and cruise?

Very lean at idle and not much change at cruise. When the manafold gets hot it expands and the leak gets smaller and is not so loud. When cold, U can hear it poping under the hood. Its been sub zero here at night and very cold. I hope I can change to new manafold sent from Garm on thur. and fri. it should get up to 33 degrees. Heat wave!!

that is balmy for this time of year in Chi Town

[Focus_Sh1ft]

Shit man, I feel for ya. Hopefully your engine is going to be alright

If you got the cash, now would be a better time than ever to get a 2554r.

Here are some pics of the new manafold. Im not sure if it will work without a new down pipe. The flange where the turbo mounts up has been welded a little crooked, as seen by the ruler in the picture. It doesn't look like much but the angle will be very exaggerated by the length of the downpipe. It may not meet up with the exhaust center pipe. If that is the case I will need to have the old manafold welded as a temporary fix until the weather warms up and I can have a new 2.5" downpipe fabricated. My current downpipe is 2.0".
