Which of these two are better? I had a dc sports manifold on my old dc5 and my old civic and had no problems what so ever but i heard the tegiwa manifold is supposed to be very good?


cheers

Good question!
I dont think you'll get a definative answer however! Chances are nobody has tried both back-to-back so they'll just argue that what they own is the best xrofl (lots of Tegiwa manifold fans on here!)

Get a Toda and you'll know you have the best :xnworthy:





I have a DC sports btw :p

I can't see there being much in it tbh. Marks puts good figures out on the dyno through the DC. Just as much as the rest running similar mods. Not sure you could truthfully notice the difference between the two products but some may disagree

There has NEVER been an issue with the flexi's

The DC Sports however has had lots of flexi failures to the point where you are not covered by warranty unless you installed engine mount inserts.

i never had any issues with my DC manifold, and it's new owner hasn't either..

they probably have had more failures than the tecopytodawiga ones due to probably selling millions more of them....

ABP won't install them without the engine inserts as DC Sports will not honour warranty claims without them.
Honestly though the quality of DC Sports is OK, but failures are not uncommon.

That's always been the case regarding warranty.
It's probably the numties that don't fit the inserts that get the failures :)
