Whose makes this exhaust manifold (GST)

[jas510]

Hello,

Bought my DSM from an owner who failed to mention the name of the parts he had installed in the car.

Can you guys tell me who makes this exhaust manifold? I need to know if this manifold will pass cali's emissions test.

Kind of looks like an ebay header.

China.

An OEM manifold is more durable and will perform just as well- find yourself an Evo III manifold if you want the car to pass with no problems. If you insist on using a tubular manifold, buy a Pacesetter as they have the CARB tag right on the header....but maybe you should buy three or four of them because I've yet to see one last more than a year without cracking / breaking.

99% sure it's a DNP knockoff, and no, it won't pass Cali emissions.

I'm 99.9% its a ebay special manifold,but that o2 housing is custom made though, wont pass inspection in CA because it doesent have a CARB badge on it, but some smog places will smog you anyways,as long as the cat is still on,your good to go

yeah they are super prone to crack i know some one who is on their 2nd one

i might but it off them just to steel the carb badge

Not a bad idea! I say go for it.

I was told highflo cats will pass emissions.

I just called the Muffler shop and they guaranteed that the cat they sell will pass emissions!! [magnaflows]
