Default SS Autochrome turbo manifold

Anyone using the SS autochrome turbo manifold on their car? Any known quality/fitment issues? Im thinking of making my own outs steam pipe bends but it doesnt seem like its worth the trouble when its selling for $140+shipping.

Probably not the safest way to go. I would make your own. They aren't known for taking their time when making things, and they usually go the cheap route.
