Quality of rx7store SS manifold?

Was wondering it anyone can comment on the quality of the SS turbo manifold for the 2nd gen rx7 sold on rx7store? They look similar to the ebay SSAC units. How do they compare up?

looks like an OBX unit to me, almost identical to the SSAC manifolds, probably the same supplier.

So they're probably of the same quality then. I was hoping that rx7store makes them and that they'll be of better quality than the ebay ones.
Has anyone encounter problems like cracking or warping with SSAC manifolds or similar units?

i run the SSAC and so does another local that i installed one on, both are close to or over 300RWHP and neither of us have had any problems, mine was even previously used on a different car before i installed it.

i did install one on an FD recently and it had warped flanges where it meets the block, it had been previously used on a different car so i would say the installer was to blame on that one as any exhaust leaks can warp them easily as well as overtightening the bolts(25ft/lbs is all they should be torqued to).
