DNP Turbo Manifold

[aviator79]

Hmm. Locked thread over at the other forum. So what deal can you get?

EDIT:

See post #4

[davesxx01]

I'm down if we get to $435.

[Performance Racing]

Wow, never mind, this may not happen.

DNP raised their MSRP by $100 on these. Sorry guys.

I can still do it, or I prefer springing for the PG manifold.
In my opinion, both are of excellent quality.

[sbspeed]

They probably raised their prices because a half dozen people all called them within a day or two trying to either buy them or setup wholesale accounts.

SU has already raised their rates but I was able to nab one off the other vendor before they catch on. Already shipped from TX!

Yeah and the GB over there was a clusterfuck. Last time I try that shit.

[ptperformance]

Yep, they bumped there price and now we all have to pay more. That sucks!

[aviator79]

Yea I just got one from the RPM store. mazdaspeed parts also has them for 492 shipped.
I already returned my PG one because I was not happy that they left out one bolt, the DNP uses better SS and possible thicker walls and PG fitament issues I did not want to deal with.

[sbspeed]

DNP is 2mm also but ss-321 vs. sus-304 for the PG mani.

F'd up how this all worked out.

Glad to get one at the *old* price though.

would someone please explain to me what that means? I doubt the search button will turn up much.

quality and type of stainless steel used for the manifold.

It's from Wikipedia so reader beware.

The links on the bottom of the page are also useful

Yeah - sorry about the other forum.

DNP claims the pricing was effective as of April 1, 2008 but somehow *forgot* to email us the new price sheet.. lol.

I can still do a GB but the prices would be a bit higher..

so the 321 has titanium added and the 304 is the standard grade. Google showed some concerned over using 304 for manifolds.

Is this even an issue?

It is a little interesting that the DNP used a stronger material. Funny that they give a 1 year warranty and the PG is lifetime. Seems it would be the other way around.

[sbspeed]

But what good is a lifetime warranty if they're not around to honor it?

DNP makes manifolds - lots of them. I have faith.

DNP mani's are handcrafted in the USA vs.....???? lol
I'll pay 300 more dollars for one for that reason alone...

It's easy to be about 100 bucks below DNP's price when outsourced to f$#@ing china

when yours parts are good you don't need to make unrealistic promises
what other parts did you buy on your MS3/MS6 that swayed you for the lifetime warranty?

lol

if your shit breaks we will replace it this has been proven time and time again.

And we always reconcile our mistakes. like with the clearance issue with our manifolds it is being fixed already.

If enough people are interested we may be able to do another GB ourselves.

PS: sorry if this post upsets you P.R. it is your forum.

[sbspeed]

You've got the market cornered ever since DNP raised their prices $100

[aaronc7]

google seems to tell me that SS 321 has better heat resistance in the 600C to 900C range. What kind of temps will the exhaust manifolds see?

I wish the DNP has a lifetime warranty too!

[sbspeed]

more than that

um not fucking china buddy don't post shit you don't know. Do your homework.

[sbspeed]

^^^ cool it chief:

"its been outsourced to a private label exhaust manufacturer who operates in Taiwan and japan. Rest assured we did not go with obx or ss autochrome or any other ebay level company out of Korea or china."

well I did my homework on the DNP which is why I have one
sorry to upset your apple cart so easily, my post was not meant to offend PG in any way.
Why so angry and defensive about the PG mani's country of origin?

lol...you did dog PGs mani pretty bad...... f$%^$%^ing chinese...lol

either way its a beautiful piece.... Ive got nothing but praise, and others that know what theyre talking about here are equally impressed. I think either manifold is great. If the PG one starts cracking I think we'll start singing another tune... but I'll be surprised.

Ive got a second one coming... I think Im going to try and fab something with an external wastegate on the first. Zach whats up with that coated one from thabigo!! Still gonna be mine?

Then why was I not refunded my shipping when I had to send my PG manifold back? And why send me a payment rather than a refund so I lose another $10 making my cost $40 for a manifold that I could not trust to fit as I am going to weld an EGT bung and have it coated, plut I have the ETS top mount so I cannot adjust the mount of the TM as it already is tight against the shroud. Im not as pissed as I sound, but others got there shipping paid so... oh well.
edit:
I do want to say that the PG manifold did look nice, but as I said I could not invest another 2-300 in if there were any worries of fitament issues. Then Id just be F-ed
