I ordered one from Slowboyracing and it came it. Really pretty and all. However, there were cracks on the inside and welding beads still inside the manifold. To make sure I wasn't nuts I used a sewer camera (home depot tool rental) to inspect the whole thing. There were several more cracks/creaking inside of it. However; the welds on the outside looked great. My concern is that it would blow the welding beads into the turbo (that would be bad) and into the engine (worse). So I returned it and asked for another. The next one came in about 10 days later as they are made to order. Guess what crack/creaks and more weld beads inside. I returned it and asked for my money back. The quality on this thing is not good. Save your cash and get a manifold with a big turbo kit. I don't think this thing could take the heat or high pressure. Just my opinion and experience.

It shouldn't be on the car, rather on the wall in a frame. It's made from 20 individual tubes that are tig welded together. All the tubes are equal length. Installation was extremely easy. I did have to file flat the turbo side flange cause it was a little wavey and leaked. No biggie. Sure the under hood temps are pretty high, but the temps cool off very quickly. There is plenty of room to get to all the bolts and you can even torque almost all of them except of maybe two. Yes it is expensive, but someone there spent a immense amount of time designing it, so it's worth it. This piece will definitely help spool the turbo up much quicker. Excellent product!

That's some of the info I can find on Dn performance. I'm hoping for the best though.
