As of now there is only one from a reputable manufacturer and it is EK D5 Delrin Top. The only problem is the performance improvement and ability to change barbs are NOT wort the $40+ EK charges

The performance for flow rates was minimal at best. The only real perk was you can use your own fittings since if you use masterkleer, getting them on a d5 stock barb was a *****...

i have 3 of those brackets...and they don't fit the x top...

performance? there is that added performance... i just don't have the tools to measure it...the stock top obviously had smaller id compared to the pom holes of the xtop...some reviewed it..martin i think did one..

its still a good upgrade if you have cash for an upgrade...

The first ever pump top for you D5 is from EK Waterblocks! Improved flow rates and the ability to interchange any G 1/4" fittings of choice are the major benefits of the EK D5 X-Top. The X-Top is compatible with the latest 3G universal pump mount from UN Designs as well, as shown in the second image below.
that's odd since it says they do right in the description from the link you provided.
