    Ok, I'm over my little childish remarks on the 'tech....

    Back-purging will yield a stronger, cleaner and easier weld, since the "dirty" air that is essentially trapped inside the tubes is replaced with shielding gas.

    I'm just trying to help.

    I have followed your build on E30tech and it's impressive to say the least. So
    What is the longevity difference between a manifold that is backpurged and one that is not? Or are we just splitting hairs here?
    From what I have read all tubular manifolds will eventually crack no matter what material or process is used.

    Most are idiots here and see thick steam pipe as the shit. There will be a place for good engineering, just rarely in the E30 market.

    I don't hate schedule manifolds... they're good for what they are. I have one on my GTR motor. It's just so easy, and practically free, to backpurge the manifold while welding, and it can greatly increase the longevity...

    Sorry, I was just trying to add some useful engineering insight. I will take my witchcraft elsewhere. Carry on.

    I'm sorry, I'll take my creative criticism elsewhere.

    Christ, I'm just trying to help. A back-purging setup is really easy to make and should be considered in the future.

    No they are not backpurged, I am offering a 5 year warranty against cracking.
    Anything else you want to point out..?
