The main reason ss autochrome has a bad rep is because their manifolds are mass produced which resulted in lower quality control (if any) many people had fitment problems initially which they seem to be getting better with.

I think the main reason they recieve a bad rep is due to their material thickness, design, etc. Which usually ends up in the manifold cracking. Aparently they didnt calculate the thermal expansion of the stainless when designing the manifold.
If your building a all around street car. Try to get a cast iron manifold. That will last the longest.

If your building a high hp track car, Have a inconel manifold made.
