I didnt think they made it anymore and it was only for single cam motors.

I thought it was a good looking manifold, and it is cheap for a stainless manifold, but they are no longer made and a little hard to find... they didnt have a wastegate port either, so you will have to use internal wastegate, or have the turbo or the manifold cut for a external wastegate.. that is kind of a drag...

You sure that's the DC? That looks more like a kiwi manifold. The DC's that I saw were a very simple 4 into 1 short tubular style. They looked really good, but not that good!

Yeah, we sold a few in the past. They were really nice quality, I wonder why they quit making them? I'm guessing they probably had problems with them cracking??

I believe that's custom. I have the original mag that it was in. I'm going to go look...

If i remeber correctly the manifold on that car was fabricated in house by DC for that crx, that crx was the one sitting in the back of Rage performance in upland for like 3 years. I remeber going up there when a buddy of mine got a zc swap done like 5-6 years ago. And i could be totally off on the manifold but I think I remebering him says something like that. Plus you maybe able to still the the DC manifold through Carparts.com I saw them there about 4 months ago, and yes they were only for SOHC w/ internal waste gate (off the shelf from DC). and they were asking $349.99 for them.

peace
