Shrinkage of the stock one is the main reason people upgrade, but they do help a little with spoolup and egt's.

If you get one get a PDI they hold up a little better than the other cast manifolds. If it's cast though it can still break with high heat.

There is really no good one brand of the 3 piece manifolds as they are ALL known to crack somewhere.Its one of those deals you just pick your flavor and run it until it cracks and then replace it.I am on my second ATS manifold as the back 3 cylinders cracked inside the center section and fell apart when we redid my headgasket a while back.

Dan...
ALL of the 3 piece manifolds are "pulse" manifolds.doesn't matter which one you buy.

Like I said,pick your flavor and run with it.

You can have them coated that helps them last. The best thing to do is get a stainless manifold.
