My vote was x2 because I had 2 4g64's

my manifold cracked with a stock internals motor and mounts. its such a shitty design. you should check out the bracket that the eclipses have. they brace the tb with the connection to the head. i dont know why the galant didnt come with it.

[wetamup2k3g]

Would a crack bring about a noticeable difference in performance, noise, etc? I never had a problem with my 4G64 manifold, so if the car doesn't noticeably act different with the cracked manifold, I coulda had one and never knew.

both my 4g64's showed no symptoms just fell off one day:120:

^^Hmm, I can't answer accurately then, I had no problems with mine. I thought I read that the 8Gb's had a reinforced IM, I could be wrong though.

yes they did come reinforced in the 8gb

ive had a galant and a eclipse manifold crack, of course due to bad motor mounts. First time i only replaced front and back mounts. Istill need to replace all four before this one goes bad.

Mine cracked due to a worn rear roll stopper plus the idiot mechanic got the balance shaft timing off causing shit loads of vibration.

^This! Thats what happened with mine...

[E_Emerson88]

my dumbass mechanic put in the timing belt wrong and caused a lot of vibration. and lead up to my manifold cracking

[Blue8g]

My roommate's bone stock 8g had an IM crack.

No significant warning, noticed vibration/shuddering upon lifting off the gas about 1/2 mile before the car stopped running, bam cracked IM.

[deeznutz]

Come to think of it both my 4g64 manifolds went shortly after I went 5speed:017:

Not that this has anything to do with the intake manifold cracking. But a popular mod for the 4g63 engines is to remove the balance shaft all together. GSX runs fine xD
