What do you guys think of this?

I think a lot of us could use a dump pipe with a separate tube for the wastegate, considering the design of the stock one...

I'm going to buy one. The exhaust i got from them was well worth the money and ill try this out too. I think the only thing i dont trust from them is manifolds, but even then for the price why not, if it breaks life goes on. and i know i have small exhaust leaks going from the dump tube to my dp anyways becuase if it was welded then the nuts wouldnt go on. so this might be the solution. ill post what i think if i buy one.

that sure dosen't look to be a stock GTR 5 bolt pattern to me. I'm holding a Nissan turbine 5 bolt metel gasket in my hand with it up against my computer monitor, and they don't even look close.... :eek:

I'm with boostfed- I highly doubt that will clear steering.

Go to Honda-tech.com and search for their manifold. Tons of people have had them crack, break, etc. I wouldn't go with it. My 2 cents.

also tons of people have had lots of success with these sr and rb20 ss autochrome manifolds....i was reading a sport compact mag that had a guy with sr20 and he had ss autochrome manifold for 7months no problem.. and plus is the turbo outlet pipe i doubt it will crack... my friends got a ss autochrome manifold for his ka turbo and its quality isnt the best but i doubt it will crack...its pretty thick metal...

I've been running their SR turbo outlet for 8 months and it has been just fine. i had to dent it some to clear the steering though.
