And if I had a wrench break on me when it shouldn't break ... Craftsman is going to be getting a very nasty letter from my lawyer.

The welds look all nice and strong, but I don't know how many of those I've seen crack at the base. Hopefuly you'll have good luck with it though

Guys listen. All ss autochrome manifolds WILL crack under pressure. It just takes time.

Stainless Steel? Yeah right. The pipes are stainless but the flange is mild steel. Don't they know these two metals expand at different rates and will cause cracking? Stupid!!!! Wow it's shiny though, thats always the best quality when looking for a manifold, yeah right!

Here is where the flange and pipe meet. You can CLEARLY see that this is mild steel welded to stainless steel. I used a magnet just to confirm what I suspected and I was right. The magnet was barely attracted to the pipe because it is stainless (VERY THIN I MIGHT ADD) and the magnet stuck to the flange like it was holding on for dear life. You can try this out at home with your moms cooking pots and the kitchen fridge to test it for yourself. All stainless my arse!

But yea, congradulations on the purchase.

I have the same manifold...no cracks yet. I've known people to go 4 years without a crack. Enjoy the pretty manifold now...because once you start it, it'll turn poop brown.
