Smile Choices on new build hotside... Opinions welcomed

I am building a new hotside kit for my car. I have a S480 turbo on order and am debating between the Stainless Works down and forward headers, truck manis with v-bands (which I have) and/or build my own headers.

What would you guys do?

Obviously SW would be the great choice but they will slow me down a few months to save for them.

Headers are nice but the truck manifolds just work so damn good for next to no money...in your case you already have them, so use them. Plenty other places to spend money in the build.

That is what I'm doing and not second guessing it at all.

Yeah that is what I was thinking, I am just torn and know that whatever I do this will be the last build for awhile so I want to be positive.

Thanks

If you have the tools (tig welder etc) then my suggestion would be to build your own.
