ebay 3sgte tubular dp and manifolds., whats the low down on them? Options

[urbandork]

So whats the deal with the tubular exhaust manifolds and 3" down pipe for the 3sgte on ebay. Are they any good? do they crack? do any of u 6gc members have them?

i have both, downpipe seems alright durability as long as you reinforce the welds, i guess same thing with the tubular manifold, but id stick with the stock log style manifold, any power given by the tubular manifold will just be top end, and the log manifold will make it on the bottom end, plus with the log manifold you can use stock heatshield which makes your engine bay look better.
