Default Alternative to truck manifolds

I was looking for some truck manifolds for my turbo build and ran across these made by hooker. Has anyone used them? They look like a pretty good alternative to flipped truck manifolds The outlet on them is 2.25". What do y'all think?

Yeah, the 3 bolt flange is better than that. And it doesn't exactly look like they flow a ton better, so I don't personally see that point.
