here's an interesting data point. I installed a _used_ Monza system on my
TR6 in 1997. Since then, I've put something like 40k miles. There are no
leaks in the system at all.
I agree that the Monza system is cheap, but anyone that has problems with
the metal rotting out is probably not driving the car enough. I'd also say
that these folks would be good candidates to install a stainless steel
system.

The Falcon stuff that I've seen is fairly good quality and I'd have no
problem recommending it.
As far as the header, you get what you pay for. I like the Falcon header
(three piece) - but they are not cheap.

p.s. if you need a stock manifold, they are out there and they are not
that expensive. I have 4 or 5 up in the attic... somewhere. :-)
