Review on πŸš— Enhance Your Vehicle's Performance with the Crown Automotive 4883385K Exhaust Manifold by David Forleo

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Looks good, the flange is real, beautiful and thick

I can only judge by the design because I haven't installed it on my car yet. Looks good, the flange is real, nice and thick. Welds look solid. If I get warm weather and get a chance to install it I will update my review. Now that it's installed I can update the information about its installation and the progress of the installation. I'm a fairly experienced mechanic and this was one of the toughest jobs I've ever had. The bottom four screws on the manifold are almost inaccessible. I needed an outlet with four "swaying" extension cords, a flashlight (held in my teeth) and a mirror to put them on. It took a full day to tighten and secure those four screws. I also bought a higher quality gasket as the one that came with the manifold looked a bit patchy. Care must be taken to ensure the manifold is properly seated on the pins on the engine block or you will have to disassemble it and start over. The fit of the collector is excellent, no complaints.

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • poorly thought out
