Gunni had one bad thing about him said, but he is still one of the best out there for mapping which is all he does now along with supplying VEMS ecu's
I wouldn't be too harsh with him and my own personal experiences are all positive

Ladies and Gentleman. I give you Fritz Bitz exhaust manifold, this is how thin the metal of the headers were where the cracks are. Almost every cylinder had cracks in it.

This is how the ports looked like

I'm sure the sale of goods act, says differently.

The manufacturer has no liability to you whatsoever, as no contract exists between you.Z2TT wrote: Again he now made me speak with the manufacturer as it he believed it is not his responsibility.
Do not, under any circumstances, attempt any reworking of the manifold yourself, or let any third party do so.
Return the manifold to Fritz Bits, and ask for your money back.
If this produces no results, ask for your money back, plus reasonable expenses, accompanied by a solicitor's letter.

Indeed, work hardening austenitic stainless changes it to a body centred cubic (martensite) and it thus becomes magnetic.
