I've got one on my bugeye, seems decent quality. Bit of a swine to fit, in fact we had to use the airsaw to gain a bit of clearance on the lower panel ! I fitted it at the same time as a full exhaust and prodrive sport cat so can't really comment on what difference the manifold would have made on it's own.

you pay for what you get, a reputable brand will have a better quality of product. An you'd more than likely get a higher power increase with a gt manifold or a similar one.

A quote from here Andy Forrest Performance - Exhausts :

"Some brands of headers have integral expansion bellows type joints (shown in pic) these have yet to prove themselves at high boost for a decent mileage. The top set in this pic (regularly advertised on ebay) blew apart in less than 2000 miles on our project WRX running under 1.5 bar boost ! The lower set (Megan) also failed within 3000 miles."

Not sure if that is the brand refferred to but you pays your money, you takes your chance!
