I have DC sports exhaust manifold for the sr20det. I bought it brand new on closeout from DC/AEM and it didn't come with a head flange to turbo flange brace. I welded in my own brace and the welds didn't hold up. I didn't catch it in time and through the vibration and engine torquing, the manifold cracked.
Where it cracked is in between two runners so it's tough to get a torch in there to fix it. I know there are some experienced welders on this site and probably could do something with this. It also cracked around one of the runners right at the head flange.
This was a great manifold imo. I am going to post up a comparison between the DC and the new tomei I got. The DC manifold has thicker tubing than the tomei!!! Can you believe that?
Anyways, I'm only asking 75 shipped for it. I paid around 250 dollars for it new and only used it for about 6-7 months. Originally when these were brand new, they sold for around 400 dollars. Spend maybe 20-25 dollars in materials and a couple hours in labor and you have yourself and nice manifold.
