Purchased this new mani last week it just came in. Here is some pics. Very sturdy looks nice and clean right out of the box with a sexy little DNP stamp on one of the tubes

Ill get pics after install up asap. Im a full-time student so it might be a few days.


(sorry if your reading right now trouble uploading pics should be up in 10 min or so)

 

One more pic

 

Sweet. What made you choose over other stock frame headers like the Toxic, ETS or Borla? Keep us updated.

 

I mostly chose them as an experiment. I did a lot of research on here and there isn't really any reviews on the DNP's (stock ones at least) so I thought I'd give them a shot so could tell people how they are. Also from some other people I had heard good things about them and hopefully I have good results.

Also if anyone decides to upgrade their headed do not buy mr. gasket copper gasket it does not fit at all! I'm pissed lancershop suggested to buy it with the mani.

 

looks cheap and just like a megan knock off. hopefully it cracks within the warranty

also, my copper gasket fit just fine

 

I tried two Mr.copper gasket. It fitment was ****. I finally just went with oem. I do not recommend Mr.gasket

 

They don't feel to cheap and the piping is decently thick. I know one person said they had theirs for three years no cracks. But then again you never know haha but lets hope not

and I guess your lucks the gasket I got line up fine in the middle but the bolts on both end sides were an inch to far from their designated places.

 

compared to what, a full-race manifold? ported stocker would have served you better, but best of luck anyways!

 

Look at all the haters in this thread.

Dude gets a shiny new manifold and people are in here telling him how crappy it is without him even using it. Remember that next time you all buy something that you think is the cats ***! Buncha jamokes!

S3CR3T... looks good. Be sure to get some pics of it on the car? You planning on getting a re-tune as well? Let us know what kind of gains you see!

 

how do you know his wants and needs??? maybe he chose this one not only for testing but for LOOKS also. after all , lots of people chose tubular manis over ported stockers due to looks...

OP - this part looks good . keep us updated

 

im not hating at all, i simply stated my opinion. hopefully it works out for him

you really think this manifold can hold up to the quality of a thick walled manifold from say toxic fab or shearer? dont kid yourself. theres a reason why it costs 600 bucks and the top quality ones are $800+

theres also a reason they only offer a 1year warranty on it

 

^ +1. There's a difference between "hating" and knowing a cheap imitation when we see one.

 

Thanks everyone for your replies. It might be cheap but honestly It's all I can afford for right now and honestly from what I heard about DNP their not that bad :P but if they do turn out to be crap I'll be sure to tell everyone.

Pics will be posted asap.

 

Do to me trying to cut down on some spending now I'm not going to get it retuned unless it changes so dramatically I can feel it in the pull. But sometime in the future I will get it retuned because it has a long start already thanks to something in the tune (according to national speed) and my evo runs like heaven so I figured why spend 350 bucks when all I have to deal with is a long start :P (about 5 sec at its worst)

 

The manifolds (of that design) I've seen fail, were because of the welds separating from the runners. nothing to do with the thickness of the flange or tubing.

That type of manifold has probably 20-30 different names but they seem to be all the same. *shrugs* try it out and see how it works out. Maybe they improved the welds.
