Cheap and nasty crap, I speak from personal experience with those actual inlets. If I were you I would stick to the proper swedish ones or get one of those stainless versions.

Cheap versions split like banana skins in high boost applications
Excatly what happened to mine. The guy who owned my car before me bought and fitted one of those exact inlets (to what is now my car) and it split not long ago. My mate TIG welded it up for me and it split again in another place. Absolutely awful quality and design imo.
I have had 3 split, teach me to buy cheap - should,ve got one off Mike Rainbird in the first place.
I'm testing a garage19 one now, see how that goes. Made of thicker ally than the others I've had.
How is it going with the current inlet that you are testing? It MAY or may not be of much stronger construction than normal swedish plenums and is welded to the trumpet section so there are no sealing problems. Kevin do you consider the one you are testing to be considerably better priced than even the one on ebay?
I have heard that in back to back testing on an engine dyno SOME swedish plenums have shown very good results even on a T34 engine.
