They appear to be full tubular stainless, I don't think you can cast something to look that good. Have you heard of others having trouble with them? What manifold do you recommend as I am putting together my setup piece by piece to achieve what I want.....

The manifold in the picture is definitely not cast.
It's tubular. The welds however look like they are mig welded, not tigged.
Mig welding is a cheap monkey way to weld and doesn't even come close to the strength of tig welding.
Usually if a manifold is tig-welded, they will heavily advertise it as such.
I'm just going by what it looks like to me, a closer look would be needed to be certain - a higher resolution picture close-up would help.
Usually you get what you pay for.
