imo its not worth it. I've had an intercooler and manifold from them. The manifold cracked numerous times on the welds of course. No biggie since i expected it. The intercooler well it was just a pos. Usually on your intercooler piping one side is cooler than the other. Well with that pos on, both were just about the same temp. I replaced both as soon as i could.

I've got an xspower exhaust mani and it cracked in the center collector after about 6 months after.. I did upgrade the turbo and exhaust to a full 3" turbo back . I bet it may not have cracked if the runners were braced together.

Currently have a FP race manifold on the way, which is cast and less likely to crack, and still flows a lot. I got the whole thing for $250 shipped from maperformance.

I have the mani, and haven't had any cracks. Only thing is it turned goldish yellow and blue. So i went ahead and wrapped it.
