Exhaust manifold repair

Post by Paradoxx »

Hey guys, was wondering if anyone knew of any places in perth who can repair my custom manifold at a good price? It has a crack around one of the welds on the number four runner. It is at the top of my list of things to fix before i get it tuned.

What material is it made from? Mild or stainless? Thin wall or thick? Tig welded or mig?

Are you taking the manifold off to get repaired or in situ?

I have dealt with them and never will again. enough said.

If its just a mild steel steam pipe manifold, anywhere with a half decent mig welder will be able to fix it. Just take it to your local welder/fabricator/exaust shop.

Well, that does it!

If TMZ says they're great, then they must be :wink:

I'm going to go and see them right away, even though I don't need anything done. :D

RPW

I'm glad this is out in the open. I've had issues with them too.

Total cost keeps coming to more than he quotes, I've been pissed off with them many times and they take AGES to fix my car.

Can everybody please relate their experiences with RPW.

Cheers.
