I've bought 4 Performer RPM manifolds for 4 different Pontiac engines I built over the last 10 years and I had to have each one of the manifolds cut .060 in order for them to fit properly.

We feel your pain, and are here for you! It's something you would THINK they would have corrected, but on other posts, it looks like they don't acknowledge there actually IS a problem. When I called the one time, few years back, I told them to just look on ebay at all the ones with cracked exhaust crossovers, that should be clue enough!

It's not limited to Pontiac intakes either, just did a swap from a Performer to an RPM on the Olds, BOTH had the same issue, had to have them cut. The RPM I didn't even try, I sent it right to the machine shop. Even they said "Wow." .

Just did a google search with the string "Performer RPM cracked exhaust corssover" and got hits on Ford, Mopar, and Olds foums on it, so they have to know there's a problem...

FYI - I cut the Olds ones .050 and use thick gaskets ....
