So my st185 has developed a new, and quite loud exhaust leak that goes away once the motor is warm. Earballing seems to place the leak somewhere at the front of the car, and with it going away once warm I'm thinking it's got to be either the gasket between the exhaust manifold and the motor, or the one between the turbo and the manifold. Or perhaps worst case, the manifold might be cracked. So I figured that since I'm probably going to be have to replace gaskets, I might as well replace the turd looking stock manifold with something a bit nicer, and a lot lighter. I found a few options, but I wanted to run them past you guys first, just to see if anyone has any experience here with these specific options or the sellers. Also, this will be my first time working with changing a manifold (out for a header or other) so any advice or tips are welcome.
The headers I'm looking at.

Alternative options are of course welcome.
