Default 1970 GTO RA Manifold advice

Good evening. I have a 1970 GTO that I am looking for advice on RA Manifolds. Specifically, which company do you recommend to buy from? Year one, Ames, parts Place, pypes, RARE? I've seen RARE's website and read their decscription, but I'm looking for member advice and input. Thanks.

I have RARE on the 81 TA and they fit fine. Paul was one of the first making them.

I have purchased a couple different sets from RARE, both in the factory size and oversized versions. Excellent pieces.
