Which header / exhaust manifold?

[Catbox_95]

I have been running a crappy header that I bought from someone here on DSMTuners who really stuck it to me hard. This weekend it finally cracked, as I knew it eventually would, after only about 1,000 miles.

I've heard that headers for our cars usually don't last very long for some reason. I hear a lot of complaints about cracking. But does anyone sell a decent header for our cars? I've heard of SBR's header as being pretty good. Any opinions? If you are running a header, are you happy with it?

As far as exhaust manifolds go, I've heard good things about Rev-Hard. Check out my mods - I am running a Garrett T3-T4 Hybrid 57 Trim and a Tial external wastegate. I need something that can accomodate those. I would rather the header/exhaust manifold have the housing for the wastegate so that I don't have to fabricate anything else.

I'm not dead-set on a header. I'd rather have one, but if no one makes a decent one, then a good exhaust manifold will be fine. As long as it has a fitting for the external wastegate.

Thanks-

Well I decided to order the SBR manifold, ported and with the external wastegate flange. Anyone else running this, or opinions on it? Remember, I already ordered it, so only say nice things about it.
