Default EL tubular manifold

So Ive been wanting to upgrade my mani and turbo for the past few weeks. Ive been searching like crazy for an EL manifold with a conjoining downpipe. The Boost Flow bottom mount is nice, but they dont sell a matching downpipe with it. The Ptuning manifold is nice, but I dont think theyll sell me just a manifold and downpipe.... and so on, finding plenty of EL manis, but no conjoining downpipe.... and I really dont feel like having to have one made up by a shop. So as a last resort I went to ebay. This is prob the best thing I found that is polished, EL, and has a DP. It says that 6 have been sold.... so anyone have any input on this set? And yea, Im aware that 230$ might be too good to be true... this is why Im asking.

search here for megan racing top mount manifold. and you will see. those pipes are thin and prone to crack on the welds. good luck. you get what you pay for for this category.

Or go to a shop and get it custom made.

If your doing it to make more power and want it to last just hit up Paul at Dezod. His manifolds are top notch and he'll sell you just the mani and dp..

he wants a EL style manifold not log style. dezod only has log style! it would be killer if they made a EL for a cheap price!

Yeah I know but they have a race manifold that is on their site that's in development I'm just assuming it wouldn't be log, he might want to check in and see if they will leak any specs or when it's going to be done.

Ive been patiently waiting for the new Dezod "race manifold" but not sure how much longer I want to wait. Dezods a great company and does right by their customers.... but I just dont know how long its going to be. If I knew it would be available in the next month or two, Id wait.... but I may just have to get a shop to custom make a DP for whatever manifold I may choose.

I just think its weird that there arent more available options out there for this. And its weird that if a company makes a nice EL mani.... why wouldnt they make a DP to go along with it? Ones not really useful without the other.

You may be right... but its not on the website
http://www.customcarscentral.com/mak...c-exhaust.html

They show the manifold... but no downpipe. Maybe I just need to call.

Hmmm. Yea, it is not listed on the site. Call them because they do make all that stuff.

I was at SP a few weeks ago asking about their mani and they are all protective about it and didn't want to sell it to me unless I bought the whole kit. They are a bit arrogant over there at times.
