Where to buy a manifold?

i have an 89 TII just recently bought a new T4 turbo and HKS wastegate and im looking for a manifold. it has to be stainless and divided flange i bought one off ebay turned out to be a cheap knock off. So if you have any websites or companies i could check out that would be amazing

Thanks

It is either cheap or expensive. I've not seen many options between.

I have seen some OBX type manifolds that look like they would flow fairly good.
The problem with the Crappy Ebay SS stuff is that they are built too thin to hold the wight of everything and tend to crack with heat and weight.Reinforcing them however makes them useful as a decent alternative.
HKS cast manifolds are pretty well bulletproof(literally,it is CAST.lol!).You can find them UP for sale on the forum every once in awhile.
I recently got one as a matter of fact and I also had one Eyed up on EBay with JapanDyno(ebay user name).You should give them a shot.
Cheers and Hope that helps ya.

It looks like it flows real good but then it ***** on you a month later. buy good the first time, the worst thing to do is pulling a mani/turbo out again after it cracks. you will regret it lol
