I asked a simple question if someone had tried something, obviously no one has because no one has given me an answer to my question, you and about half the other people posting on here are providing useless information to a potentially relevant topic. If all you guys want to use that same couple of parts and do the same couple of mods and be the next Honda crowd be my guest, sorry for trying to think outside the box and come up with a potentially useful resource to the DSM community and not be a bunch of useless forum rats like I seem to keep having problems with on this forum. Just remember, there are no such thing as a stupid question, only a stupid answer.

And yes Jason I know of the problems with the stainless ones, I had my 46mm fall off an eBay mani on my last Talon racing an 1100XX up Hwy 36 when I had it up on 35lbs on the Holset, thought my motor blew for a second from the loss in power and the sudden loud noise lol.

lol. I blew my oil cooler line on 36 a number of years back. Then my alternator went, on the same part of 36. Same thing with my clutch. I stay away from 36 as much as possible now.


I consider all ebay stuff to be of equal quality. I don't care if it's cast or tubular. To me, it's all junk. I'd rather buy a used quality piece, than a new ebay item.

I thought this part was hilarious. I think the Honda crowd would be more apt to be cheap and go with egay parts than the dsm community. There is a reason we recommend not going cheap with parts, especially a turbo manifold. Lulz
