The renault one cracks because of failing engine mounts, it's actually a pretty decent design
Yeah I saw that but it's a lot of work for a small gain, not worth it on a road car IMHO
This is true, the problem is that usually people don't realise their engine mounts have had it, until like what happened to me, you become aware of a very laud hissing! Then my friend it's too late, New manifold and new mounts..... sad times, the standard manifold is fine but getting hold of them is pretty hard.. as already noted maaaaany Times over.
I've known about the ktec pipe for a while, but to have that fitted is £500 so for that price it's almost worth the new manifold!
what about the 200's that have failed....that aint due to "engine mounts"....they have to give to stop vibration and so do the flexis etc
been plenty on here with cracked welds and broken flexis - the cracked welds on the branches isn't due to engine mounts
What makes you think the 200 ones haven't cracked because of failed engine mounts? The engine mounts on these cars are awful especially the lower one
lower one isn't that bad in fact its quite robust for a lower one...have yet to see someone post one on here one thats "worn"!
the branches crack on the welds due to probably poor weld or under cutting on the actual welded seam - more due to heating up and cooling down than movement

I'll take a photo of my lower mount that I removed yesterday - one side of it moves more than I would like it to and the rubber has perished and cracked on the other.
The passenger side flexi had split which caused cylinders 2&3 to crack, popping in the new flexis and getting the manifold welded today.

I've emailed toyosports about their manifolds and it looks like another 8 days till they get them in, from the other thread I said there'd be three to five people wanting them, they offered them at £200 each.
Just looked, it was 12th sept and they said two weeks.

They didn't say but the current listings say more than 10 and 21 so a fair few I'd say.
