Default Manzo Header and X pipe

Hi C5 gang, I'm thinking about getting a set of Manzo Headers and X pipe combo on eBay. Anyone running these and what do you think... fit, install, leaking??? I've looked at Speed Engineering also, as an option.
I just can't see spending $1000+ on headers from TSP, or something comparable.

Speed engineering are by far the best cheap headers. The only issue is that the clamps are poor, and they don't offer a catted option. The clamps can be easily replaced with better clamps (or you can weld the pipes). I would certainly go with the speed engineering over the Manzo.

Ok, not too worried about the cats, I'm looking to get rid of mine. Do you have a recommendation on what kind of clamps to get?
