Default DC D16 T3 Manifold

I remember seeing a stainless tubular manifold made by DC. Has anyone ever used one of these? I'm not sure if they still make them, but they looked pretty nice, except they weren't flanged for an external wastegate. Anyway, they looked like this:

I might be upgrading my DRAG genI soon, so I was looking for a quality manifold, tubular if possible. What's a good (non-log style)D series manifold in the $300-400 range or less?

(wondering the exact same thing)

I am leaning towards just building my own at this point

I can get materials, but making it will just be a bitch!!!

I guess it's pretty rare, since I've never seen any pics of it installed.

The manifold itself retailed about $400.00 now a friend of mines changed his mind and gave me to me at a very special price.

Cool. How's the tubing look? Pretty thick? Are you going to ad a w/g flange to it, or are you going to run internal?

I just found this on PartsTrader:

Looks like it's been rewelded. Are these prone to cracking at all?

It has been rewelded to fit an external wastegate. If I was going to stay in the 8 to 10 psi range I would stick with internal but since im going to push upwards to 18 to 20 psi the chances are higher for somethin bad to happen with internal WG.
