well if you bought that brand new I would with out a single doubt return it!!! It shouldnt harm any thing but it may effect flow some, other than that it just looks real bad.

Did you buy it new? Did you contact DNP?

Oh and to answer your other question no thats not normal , and like was mentioned I would contact dnp asap!

got it from sbr who ordered it from dnp,yes brand new, man this sucks

That bend will cause a larger pressure reduction (due to a much greater loss coefficient from the abnormal bend) in the runner which could possibly burn up your valve stem seal on that exhaust value along with cause you to lose power because the harmonics of your exhaust flow will be off.

Make use of SBR's customer service and get yourself a different manifold.

That bend has to be there in order to get the nut onto the stud when you go to install it.

What makes you say that?? even mark from sbr said no thats not normal i sent it back today, sucks you pay all this money and you gotta pay to ship it back when they messed up, o well....

no the dent is not supposed to be there. Any one who says it is has never seen a dnp manifold which is normall a very sexy and well built piece.

Yours might be a little more of a dent then mine but every DNP manifold of that style has that tight bend. Send it back and you might get one with a little less of a dent.

they should refund you since they messed up, since they messed up. once they receive the item they should refund you whatever you paid to ship it back to them.

You would think so, but now a days that doesn't seem to be the way most work. Kind of sad if you ask me.

There needs to be a slight dent for the pipe, but it looks like they messed up and just shipped out a flawed part.

I would get another manifold shipped out.

Yeah it is sad; he should at least ask for it, the worst they can say is no we will not pay for the shipping.

Heh, I told ya it looked exactly like mine when I got it. Glad you did give DNP a call for solid confirmation though.

little late but yea thats normal. unless you have a ported head thats still bigger or the same size as then the exhaust port anyway
