To Tube, or not to Tube..

for an extra fifty bucks you can get a dump tube too.

[JET]

You had better pay attention to auctions. Those aren't from DNP, they are from SSautochrome. They are nearly as bad as the pacesetter's. They are absolute junk.

[Shane@DBPerformance]

Nearly? I think you mean't much worse than Pacesetter.

[Raptor]

Ask Chris Carey what he thinks of those hahaha, nothing like your turbo only being supported by a band clamp or having your Tial fall off and hit the ground.

are you serious. its hard to spot a fake. how do you know.

but id still get the dump tube though.

and i compared the dnp's to the ssautochrome ones. look pretty close to me.

and i dont have to worry about a wastegate falling off. iv got the t(hair dryer)25

[Raptor]

Okay, the turbo will fall off instead. The SS autochrome one has dropped both. I have fixed the DNP ones as well, but only for cracks, not major failure.

[AJ]

Both DNP and SS and Pacesetter are all big piles of shit.

gocha piles of ...um... poo.

not to steal the thread or anything(you might benefit from this too)but there was a different manifold that i was wanting to look at but i couldnt find who makes it. i wanted to know more about it. it does look like the turbo flange is to big for a t25 though so...darn i guess ill have to upgrade my turbo soon. heeheehee.
let me know what you think
hers the link. its on dsmtuners.

#1, please use a better way to structure your questions and actual grade level of posting. ESPECIALLY in all tech areas. Like I had said in the PM.

#2, as long as you have a T25 you don't need to worry anything about a different manifold. Adding to that is the fact that the stock 2G manifold can do wonders with a little porting as well. Outlandish manifolds aren't for everyone, and the money could and should be spent elsewhere.

ok..im sorry again but i stil want to know what you think of that one

Why not go with a proven brand if you are so set on a tubular manifold? Try Full Race or Alien Auto. There's a couple others but I can't think of them off hand.

By the way, nice job of fixing your grammar and punction after explicitly being asked to by the site Owner.

[JET]

Since when are Alien Auto and Full Race proven manifolds? Did I miss something? For durability the SFP is probably the best on the market right now. Still nothing like a cast one though. Why even "upgrade" though? The stock manifold has pushed over 600 whp. If you want to upgrade, go with a larger cast manifold.

[Raptor]

I am highly going to dissagree on the SFP one at the moment, I fixed a few in a row for the same guy, including the ones they sent him for replacement, the welding was pretty sad. There were other issues with the fabrication, but I would be hard pressed to believe that was the best on the market for durability.

I apologize, let me rephrase. They are the only tubular manifolds in which I have never heard of having cracking issues. Talk to Colin Receveur (turbo2Liter) on NABR and Toonerz, I am 99% sure he running a Full Race manifold with his T4 (I think that's what it is at least). I believe a few guys have had their DNP Manifolds Jet Hot coated fresh from the factory and have a seen a virtual elimination in cracking issues (as long as it was acceptably made from the factory of course). However, I can't provide a link to any testimonials about that because I can't even remember where the hell I read that back when. I could also be completely off base but just trying to provide some input.

Also, even though I don't have personal experience of course, I have read of a number of people having cracking issues with the SFP manifold.

[JET]

I agree the SFP isn't that great either Mike. Some have lasted decently, but I am sure their quality has gone down hill. They are mild steel too, so it is only a matter of time before they fatigue.

I plan on having something on the market this fall/winter, but I need a stress relief oven first. I am going to make mine right, I haven't seen one on the market yet that does it correctly (for a DSM).

Much better Jakey, I just don't want to see people misled by vague statements. There are some people on here that don't know any better.
