looking for info on this manifold if anyone has used one. Any input I can get would be great.

Do not buy! It's china crap and the welds will break.

Don't waste your money. it is HORRIBLE quality. freakin thing tinted yellow within ten minutes of my initial startup. i also bought their big 16g and installed them together... thing burned oil out of the box. spend the extra money and get good quality

 

[97gst5887]

what would you recommend for a manifold. need something with better flow to spool my pte6262.

Fp race manifold, evo 3 ported, 2g stock manifold ported. Those are your best bets

Here's a hint- you're not going to find it on DSMJunkyard's site for $150.

Definitely don't buy from dsmgraveyard. Nothing but bad news whenever people have ordered from them. For all that u could buy from wwwcxracing.com yourself. That manifold definitely looks cheap though.

I personally would not buy one because the CXRacing manifolds are cheap, and the DSMGraveyard has some of the worst customer service I have ever dealt with. It took them three weeks to send me a gasket and I even called/emailed a countless number of times to see what the hold up was I never got anything back from them. From what I've heard, not many people have had good luck with CXRacing products. There is a lot of threads in the forums stating how people have had problems with the welds on the manifold cracking and the flange needing modifications to bolt up correctly. If you absolutely must have it then at least buy it off eBay since on there they only run $100 and you can get free shipping, but even then just spend a little more and get an FP manifold .

I see some high dollar items in your info, so I'm stuck wondering why you would try to cheap out on anything on your car. I personally have a DNP mani, but I'm on the fence about switching to the ERL cast.

i wouldnt say that everything cx makes is junk. i really like the piping kit i bought from them, reviewed here ---> http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/art...2842-cx-racing-intercooler-piping-review.html

In that review your intercooler looks crooked and should be lower and the piping should fit better

, only one lower bracket was on in that photo as a mock up, but you are correct!!

I actually have the sidemount intercooler pipes made by CXRacing and they're not too bad. I bought them from Punishment racing though cause I thought it would be better to give them the business. Mainly I've heard the manifolds they sell don't last and neither do their turbos. There is a couple Honda guys in my area that praise CXRacing turbo kits because of the price. Only problem for them is the turbos don't last very long because they are poor quality.
