Re: Ceramic Coated Custom Braced Top Mount for D series
The manifold is used. It was ceramic coated, then b/c it had no support for the turbo, it began to develop stress cracks. These cracks were re-welded and a custom support was fabricated to brace the manifold.
The price I'm asking reflects this fact and I believe it is fair.

I paid $400 for the manifold, $100 for the coating, $150 for the custom brace, and a few other costs were for the flanges and wastegate elbow.
I may just re-consider and keep it. I probably have too much invested into it to let it go at that cost.

My build thread has detailed pics of the manifold and it being braced. I was not trying to be deceitful. I was tryn to hook a member up. 
I'm probably better off selling it on eBay or HT.

I would just keep it unless you need the cash. Its worth more than your asking
