looks to me to be off a drag turbo kit. They too, like your tubular, will crack after some miles. some people get 3k miles out of em, but most are around 25k. so make sure to ask the guy if its cracked anywhere, or a repair.

it is basically better than the drag. it is pulling off the merge. not just one runner like the drag.
