Cracked Exhaust Manifold Makes Car Sound Like A V8?


Recommended Posts

Hey, my skyline has a cracked exhaust manifold and for ages its just been making weird noises but now it sounds like its a V8. Could it be that the exhaust manifold has cracked right through or is it something else? Bit worried as i only just had the ignition fixed.

Cheers.

need more info...

sounds like a v8 as in running lumpy??

sounds like a V8 as in it goes ''omgggg thatz siiik''??

upload a youtube vid. or add a better description.

Doean't a crack in the manifold make it backfire and sound really tough? Lol.

My mate had a Cressida, got a stupid 5" straight pipe through it... the manifold had a crack in it, so it backfired louder than gunshots. He went into the Marion undercover park one time and started revving the shit out of it... flames popping out and it sounded like bombs were exploding... then 2 undercover cops walked out and fined him for excessive noise hahaha.

But yeah, his was just a crack in the manifold... letting air in, making it backfire.

But it sounded so f**king tough hahah

do u have an aftermarket exaust manifold, if so is it stainless steel????

when i had my old xforce manifold it cracked around the welds (on 2 manifolds) leading up to the flange, could tell it was cracked coz i could hear a tikcing noise

it didnt make any difference to performance tho coz we still proceeded to dyno it and still pulled over 300

Damn that would of been fun in the carpark making banging noise lol

i had a cracked manifold when someone went up my bum and it sounds likea v8 but off and you will go through lots and lots and lots of fuel also it back fires both ends and extream loss of power when excelerating

also if you havent had damage to crack it then it could be the gasket as that will do the same things as if it was cracked

you can pick up a second hand one for not much at all

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
