"looks like" it may fit on a Log style manifold. I personally wouldn't waste my time. i would be that you would have fitment problems

Its probably safe to say you'll need a tubular front x-member to run any of those. The 3" dp's ive seen working with the stock x-member needed it to be cut some, and had fairly odd (and distinctive) bends - the ebay units don't. Standard chinese-knock off parts cracking issues will apply as always. There are also so manu manifold designs, you WILL need to reweld something anyways - be it your oil pan thats in the way, your x-member, or the DP itself.

It will be better overall to get some of your own bends/flanges, cut them as needed, then have them welded up by someone. It you never intend to start the motor, much less put the setup in a car, definately get an ebay unit.

I can't figure out how people expect those to fit just about any setup, since nearly none of the aftermarket mani's place the turbo in the same location.
