wierd.. i've installed 2 of them and not had a problem yet.

also, any manifold will warp if you do not seal the turbo/DP correctly, as i said i have one on my own car and installed one on another customers car and neither have had a single issue, quality was good for the price.

the old SSAC stuff was junk but i would say within the last 1.5 years quality has improved quite a bit.

there is tons of naysayers and people who just don't know what they are doing dealing with installing parts causing premature failures and blaming it on the parts. cast iron will take abuse much better so you can have exhaust leaks without warping the flanges, not the same deal with thinner stainless materials. some people just like to blame the parts for their own mistakes and others are just not willing to accept that quality can improve over time.
