egay turbo exhaust manifolds, worth it?

[1g dsm d22]

hello people, im replacing/upgrading my ex. manifold and i was woundering if the pacesetter or the obx were any good. i found some that were about 300 with shipping and others that were way much cheaper like 100 bucks free shipping . so, worth the money or not?
i asked one of my friends thats a honduh freak thats really really good at making ex. manis. he has a fully fully built honduh runing high 9's and he made his own mani. came out very very clean and so i asked him how much would he charge me to make me one and he said around 650 haha im like DAMN!! so thats why i started searching egay. and he said that these will crack easily because theyre turbo manis.

i had a obx egay mani. but it was for a n/t dsm, my previous one. and had it for about a year and it was perfectly fine. soo tell me what you guys think. should i buy one off egay or from my friend. and oh........he'll do payments .

if you feel like replacing it or re welding it in a month or so. The turbo motor makes a ton of heat.

Besides you can get a forced performance race manifold for 216 shipped.

I would agree the forced performance manifold is a quality product.
