MAM Exhaust Mani

I was considering buying a MAM exhaust manifold. It is more expensive than the Thunder or the STeedspeed. How does this manifold perform compared to the Thunder/Steedspeed manifold? I am looking at adding an exhaust manifold and a corksport S-pipe, maybe have MPNick redo my stock turbo. Pricewise, the Thunder is the best. I do not know which one is best for a performance increase. I would gladly buy the MAM if there was a significant difference between the MAM and the other two manis.
I currently have installed an FMIC, SRI, 626 mani, vibrant exhaust, and a ver 1 AFC, stock engine. Your comments on the performance differences would be appreciated. Thanks.
 
I have the thunder and love it. As far as performance I havent seen any dynos on any of them. But Id love to see one...HINT HINT
 
I have the MAM Mani and absolutely love it, it looks great and also I believe there were proven gains with it. The Thunder mani I believe they did a dyno and it came out producing nearly as much as the stock one. The look of the MAM just overpowers the others in my opinion, it's beautiful and RARE since it isn't made anymore, and it's rare to find one. There is actually one for sale in the FS section, and it's definitely worth every penny to have one of these.

I looked on the SteedSpeed website, and they have them for $750. You may as well just pay the other $50 and get the MAM mani from ForceFed. The MAM mani originally sold for over $1000 I believe, and IMO, again, looks better and catches your eye more than just having a big (no offense to the Steedspeed ones, but..) block in your engine bay that really doesn't look like much. They claim to have a 12 hp gain over the stock one, whereas with the MAM mani, it made the gain of 24whp at 12psi.. just read for yourself and enjoy the beauty:
