The best cheap turbo manifold for h22s

[raidmax]

My turbo manifold is cracked and I'm looking to get a new one. I know I should spend alot and get a good manifold... but what is the best, cheap manifold? I was looking on ebay and found a few different designs.

This is one like I have installed on my car

... and it has alot of cracks in it. I've had it tig welded a few times to patch the holes, but it keeps cracking.

Here are the ones I found on ebay.


This one looks like the RevHard "Log Style" manifold.

The OBX H22 Turbo Manifold:

Does anyone have these manifolds? I dont want to buy another manifold that is going to crack like my XSPower manifold.

Thanks,
David

Please help! I have $$$ in hand and waiting to buy.

What do you guys think would be the best cheap manifold for the h22a?

I can get

on ebay for $145 shipped ! Or should I go with the "log style" manifold that looks like the RevHard. I'm just scared the $145 one will crack like my XSPower manifold......

I've been googling all night and found this:

I'm leaning towards the cast iron... log style manifold

But I read this post @ Welcome to Team Integra! - Team Integra

[U]Cast Iron[/U]
Arguably the easiest material for mass production, when produced in volume cast iron makes a good deal of sense. However, due to the necessity of molds for its production, it is not appropriate for both custom applications and complex designs. [B]Unfortunately, due to its high temperature properties, it has a tendency to crack after continuous (street) use.[/B]

So... I found another manifold

This manifold has SUS321 stainless steel, which is the same grade steel used for the cracked XSPower manifold I have now.

I'm stuck! and confused....

The fact that most OEM manifolds are log cast iron should give you some indication of it's wear properties. In fact, for longevity I would take a cast iron log manifold over a tubular any day of the week--with tubulars you really do get what you pay for.

thanks for all the help.... I just ordered this log manifold

Its made from cast iron..... I hope it's better than the XSPower manifold and will not crack! I'll let u guys know how everything goes!

Thanks,
David
