hey guys so putting on the treadstone manifold, look great def good upgrade from stock... now question anyone else put this on.... i had to grind roughly .25 inch off the collector because everytime i go to mount the manifold.. crushes the coolant tube...

lawlz answered my own question looked on treadstone`s site... even they grind their manifold by the tube..

i would still be worried at how close it is to the coolant line. It would make me uncomfortable. But its your choice. Maybe a thicker exhaust manifold gasket would push the manifold out more? just trying to help.

yea i fixed it, its about about 8th of inch away from it now lot of grinding

worst come to worst, i cut the coolant pipe and weld it or bend it a tad more

this is what i hate.
these companies spend all the money making these products, and then wasting our time because we still have to cut and grind ****, just to make it fit. Same thing with the supposed bolt-on turbos...its crap!!!

Sorry, i needed to vent, gl with your install and post some pics
