I have emailed them and asked about their limited lifetime warranty and asked if the warranty would pay £1000 for an engine pull in case the manifolds would crack, and the answer was "don't even buy them, some are cracked already".

STAY AWAY !!! STAY AWAY !!!
Search for SX Power Products on the net and you will see a lot of horror stories. This is cheap chinese crap !!!

I accidently bought a set not knowing they where SX onces as the guy on the ebay auction said he made them himself. Luckily Doug pointed out that his pictures were the same as on the SX website and I could get a refund before he send them out. Only lost a couple of squid - Lucky escape!!!! Thanks to Doug from MRC again !!!!
You get what you pay for !!!
Go to MRC, ASP or AWE for decent manifolds !!! Less cost and hassle in the long run !!!

Thanks guys
How much is it for a decent set of polished ported manifolds?

Why polished ? It's better if they're heat barrier coated like the ASP onces which come in at $1849. Or contact MRC, they do good quality...dunno about the price tho.

yeah ceramic coating would protect a lot against cracking from heat aswell as speed up exhaust gas flow.
