Experienced opinions on KA-T's, and turbo cars involving this manifold

[INeedNewTires]

Ok so ive been checkin out this SS autochrome manifold on ebay, its only $350 group buy, and it seems to be good! Does anyone have any experience with these? im sure the quality would be the same on this one compared to their SR manifold. so has ANYONE bought a manifold from them?? Ive been looking for a deal like this for soooo long and now that i see it, im a bit skeptical... i mean, a equal length stainless manifold for the KA for under $400??? seems almost too good to be true. heres the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&category=33742&item=2471385855&sspagename=STRK%3AMEBWA%3AIT

the GB on Nico isin't a bad deal, located here ( http://www.nissaninfiniticlub.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=51839&perpage=35&pagenumber=1 ) but it seems like maybe a bit less quality, its not equal length, and its not polished (which really doesn't matter to me but im thinkin, the more professional it looks the more work was put into it and the better it probably is, OR could this be a coverup for the crappy quality?) I think i read somewhere that its lifetime warranty against cracking, might have to check on that though.

I plan on only running anywhere from 5-12psi. So if your comparing this manifold to your setup, which yields 1bar or more, you should take into consideration that i wont have that much pressure on my manifold. Im simply looking for a decent manifold that will hold up under my given conditions at the cheapest price available. anyones input??

ss autochrome:

thats been my judgement after reading lots about them. do a search. find out they have blown apart. lots.

i'm working on one. will be stainless,3mm thick, but will have a t25 flange for gt turbos. i can do a t3 flange but need alot of people to order it. if you can wait about 2 months it should be done by then. still working on the jig to make sure it will not hit anything. test fitting is on my 1998 KA24de motor(automatic brake master cylinder). i will need at least 10+ to get in or i can not start the deal. i have some sr20 manifolds coming in and it will be some what of the same design. the parts should be at my place in about 5 days if there is no problems during shipping.

* MODS* i'll be back home in 2 days and will pay for the ad space.

I have the famous $150 bottom mount stainless one from them on my sr making 387rwhp. Its been on there for like 6 months with no cracks, and I am not even using any flexpipe. The first time I installed it was when i put the turbo on and dynoe'd. The thing glowed red during pulls on the dyno. The tuner told me it wouldn't last long. Guess I got a good one.

i'd buy it if they offered a lifetime warranty against cracking. not so much to ask is it? if you're gonna spend more than 0 dollars on a manifold it should have a warranty.
