Ok guys here's another cracked manifold question. My T is 2wd non tow gears and has 117k and the mileage is starting to drop off. A little background. I have a maxtrac 4inch spindle lift with a 1.5 inch spacer with bills on the middle perch. Also have 35x12.50r20 Aturro mts. Hate them there impossible to balance. Anyway my milage used to hover around 12-12.5. Now it's at 10-10.5. Im pretty positive the drivers side is done.
I can't any information on these. They look legit and the price is so cheap I just can't pass it up. Anyone use these or have any feedback back for me would be great before I pull the trigger.

Never heard of them. Unless the cost is per side, the price seems suspiciously low... I know that sounds weird but you get what you pay for. JBAs are around 500 a set on the low end.

They're probably Chinese knockoff JBA headers. Try them out and let us know how they fit. If you do, go with OEM Nissan gaskets.

 

[aplyler820]

Yes no matter what headers you get buy the oem gaskets.

The tried and true brand here is JBA. Stillens are popular too

Ya that's what I was thinking. Ya I think I'll get them. And yes the nissan gaskets are the way to go

Hmm just read a bunch of the sellers feedback. Not specifically for the titan ones but so many people said they were junk. I think I'll wait and save for the jba. Can't decide on long tubes or the shorties. I'm in socal so leaning towards the shorties.

Check out Cajun b-pipes. They have a manifold fix kit that includes the headers, the secondary pipes that go after the headers (which you'll need), and uprev so you can tune it. I think their package price is a hair cheaper than if you sources them all by themselves.

Trust me when I say it's a project you never want to do more than once.

I started and quickly said F this. Found a muffler guy to do it and he said it took him every bit of 10 hours to do.

The 4x4 models are the worst, the diff gets in the way and makes it a pain to work around.

I laughed when my dealership quoted me 455 Canadian for install. I never said anything other then sound good.

haha thats great, my muffler shop laughed at me when i asked them about doing headers on mine. lol

With the cracked manifold is there a distinguished sound that says yup...that's the manifold! I ask because the noise I'm hearing is a buzzing sound which my buddy at Nissan over the phone said it sounds like the belts or a pulley? But wondering maybe it's the common manifold leak I keep reading about? Or the oil filter?

So no go with these DNA Headers huh?

 

[hondarider65]

Yes that has a distinct sound and your mileage will drop off. The buzzing sound many owners speak of is a clogged oil filter.

The cracked manifold sound is a ticking-puff-of-air sound when the engine is running. It will speed up when your RPMs are higher and if you're on the highway for a while, the sound might seem to disappear because the manifolds will heat up and the crack will shrink a bit. Next time you're at a stop, roll down your windows and step on the gas to get the RPMs up and listen for the ticking.

Could it sound like crickets?

 

[aplyler820]

I don't believe so. Are you hearing more of a high pitched squeaking noise? That could be something with the belt. The sound you hear with a cracked manifold is just air escaping through the crack so it likely wouldn't be making a squeaking noise as well

Mine didn't tick, it was more of a flutter noise is the best I could describe it

 

[aplyler820]

When I did my research a couple years ago mostly everyone described as a ticking but I agree it's more of a puff of air sound. But it is a very rapid puff so I can see where the tick description came from.
