Pics of new DNP manifold

This DNP spools the turbo better than the Pacesetter. However, I like the sound of the Pacesetter better. As far as quality, there is really no comparison. The DNP's tubes are about 1/8" thick compared to 1/16". The flanges are thicker and the collector has several gussets instead of a single unit.

Wow, that's purdy! How much did that set you back?
Oh, and why is there a bolt/stud missing to the turbine housing? :p

Very Nice......

I'm pretty sure that Turbogarge.com has that on their website for only $500. Just to make sure though I'd ask Ryan Larsen or Ray Faatz to make sure that it is the DNP unit.

I got it from slowboyracing.com for around $450. I lost 2 (10X45 1.25) bolts when the Pacesetter basically blewup.

I've always been told that the stock 2g is the best flowing is that true? Because I would sur like to have something as nicelooking as that under my hood but im all go before show!

[rlarsen]

Uh, no, I'm pretty sure an equal length tubular header's going to flow a wee bit better than a stock 2G manifold...

[buckley]

yes, I also had a DNP (actually an xspower but same width, at 1/8'') on my big 16G before the motor blew. It is much better than the stock 2g manifold. It obviously flows much better.

Also, same thing happened to me with my manifold. I had a bolt back itself out 3 times causing a really bad exhaust leak. Tripple thread lock worked for me :)

I bought a DNP manifold a little less then a year ago and was not happy with it at all. I sent it back three days after I got it. The biggest issue was that the exhaust ports were offset to one side, so the exhaust gases would slam into dnp flange on one side. The other issue that I found were the exhaust ports were smaller then the stock manifold. This issue became more apparent when the exhaust ports on the head were gasket match. I was not happy at all and when I talked to DNP about it, they really didn't care one bit. :mad: In the end, I had to pay to have the manifold shipped to me and pay to have it shipped back.

That's why the best manifold/header is always the one YOU build to fit your particular setup or application.

I didn't notice those particular problems with the DNP unit I had briefly, but it sure was a pain to install.

[buckley]

Wow are they a pain to install. The bolts and nuts are difficult as hell but once you take it on and off 10 times, you figure out the shortcuts.

Anyway, I don't think I'll be going with a DNP style manifold again only because it won't work with my application.

I have no issues with the performance benefits though. It was a nice manifold when installed
