Default Any top mount turbo manifolds not made in China for this car?

Just as the title says. I'm looking for a trusty top mount manifold (2jzge) and can't find any that aren't made in China or CXracing. Anybody know of any?

Boost Logic, Full Race, DaveH and some more but might have been discontinued. btw nothing wrong w/ China made manifolds, i'm running one for almost 2 years now and now cracks.

I am using a XS manifold which is basically the china one.
I think driftmotion has a better one too.
treadstone has a cast manifold, but its more of a side mount.

Prior to the influx of Chinese manifolds, Sound Performance made a knock-off of the HKS manifold for the GE head. They still may have the fixtures to make you a one-off.

The DaveH manifold is actually top mount? I couldn't find any pictures of it IN a car

Yeah, that's a little tooooo much out of my price range. That's pretty ridiculous. How much more of a benefit is that manifold anyway?

I kind of dig the treadstone cast manifold:

http://www.treadstoneperformance.com...C+Supra+2JZ-GE

Is anyone running one in an SC? Pretty sure it's the route I'll be going. Price is definitely right. Doesn't exactly have the wow factor of a tubular top mount manifold that puts your turbo way up on display though....

should clear the distributor by a mile however!
