Default After market manifold - advice

Need to replace my WRX Bugeye manifold. OEM part is £306.

I don't need an upgrade part as I don't want to remap. I have seen a variety on fleebay and wondered if anyone had any experience of these sellers:

race_spec_performance

- CNC MACHINED FLANGE
- MANDREL BENT PIPE
- FITTING WILL RESULT IN BHP INCREASE (UPTO 25BHP)
- FITTING WILL ALSO GIVE WEIGHT REDUCTION
- COMPLETE WITH GASKETS AND BOLTS
- BRAND NEW IN STOCK IN THE UK

2fast2cool2

- Mandrel Bent T304 Stainless Steel with CNC Machined Flanges
- Built-in Up Pipe Is Welded To Reduce Air Leakage
- Un-Equal Length Gives The Distinctive Subaru Burble
- Very Lightweight - Only Weighs 9 Kilo
- Adds Instant Horsepower & Torque
- Gaskets & Bolts Included

They are both selling stainless systems for approx £150.

Any suggestions?

Really these headers will crack after few weeks/month,if you want go for aftermarket go for GT Spec,but at your tune i would suggest go for standard ported headers from Harvey.

Why would they crack? The welds? The sellers have loads of positive feedback. Can't see why. Will investigate Harvey. Link!

I had these on my old Wrx. They cracked within 6 months. so user feedback wont state this. As feedback is only given once you recieved the headers or have them installed.
