The biggest problem with stone racing that I've heard, in regards to their manifolds is that they flange bolt holes do not line up. The flange surface also is not perfectly flat!!!!
Everyone who buys them seems to get them machined to fit.. pretty sad but true.

Anybody know if they're still using chromed steel for their manifolds? I installed (against my choice), one of their HKS manifolds into a car and after ~20k miles the thing was flaking like sunburn.

I can't answer that ,but the one I have seen in person(FD divided one) wouldn't hold a magnet to it ,so it's some kind of stainless steel.

chromed manifolds are just for show, they are not meant to last for long periods of time, i would only get it because of the price but personally with how many people i have seen complain about them i am surprised your manifold lasted that long.
