I think everybody here knows that Rs2 exhaustmanifoilds is bad it crakcs/leaks.
Waht is the common behavior/shymtom when driving a rs2 with the
typical crack??

I hope everybody understand my bad english


Rune.

i believe you hear a ticking not unlike a noisy tappet. please excuse my bad norwiegen.

You wont notice it's cracked. Most crack around the collector and sometimes up to the turbo flange, however, this isn't visible and it doesn't affect performance. They all crack, so don't worry about it, it's not normally an issue.

ticking noises,lost boost pressure and black fumes around the area of the cracks near the manifold
