Are you serious about the "quality" part? I heard SS auto wasn't good.

Does it worry anyone that the focus of the part description is how "good looking" it will make your engine bay?

Looks identical to the XS Power (renamed SSAC for US consumption) mani. They really aren't that bad. I ahd one for a qhile, but I never put it on. Other than the fact that they didn't cleanup the welds very well ( a sure sign of mass production) it looked solid enough.

i have one. its very solid, the 2nd generation ones that are out now shouldn't have as many problems as the 1st generation. but, as with any tubular manifold, they WILL crank eventually. weather it a JIC,Kazama or SSAuto, tubular manifolds eventually crack

I WISH they were still out there. I was about to order one and they haven't been on ebay for weeks now...

If you buy it today, it is a 2nd gen one. If you bought it 2 years ago, it is a first generation.

I've got one on mine also. I've only about about 150 miles on it, but it seems sturdy enough so far...
