I apologize, let me rephrase. They are the only tubular manifolds in which I have never heard of having cracking issues. Talk to Colin Receveur (turbo2Liter) on NABR and Toonerz, I am 99% sure he running a Full Race manifold with his T4 (I think that's what it is at least). I believe a few guys have had their DNP Manifolds Jet Hot coated fresh from the factory and have a seen a virtual elimination in cracking issues (as long as it was acceptably made from the factory of course). However, I can't provide a link to any testimonials about that because I can't even remember where the hell I read that back when. I could also be completely off base but just trying to provide some input.

Also, even though I don't have personal experience of course, I have read of a number of people having cracking issues with the SFP manifold.
