Manifold building suggestions
 
I'm gonna be building a manifold for the Z. Due to the fact that a Holset will soon be making it's home in my engine bay and I need a external wastegate for it and the stock turbo manifold won't with the t4 flange and the need for the WG. Question is that since it's got a divided exhaust housing should I pair three cylinders for one of the housings and likewise for other half or just have all 6 cylinders routed directly into the exhaust housing and not split it? This is a very very very crude example of the manifold I was thinking of making that would split the manifold to feed each side of the exhaust housing. Don't worry it won't look like this and be shorter so I won't hang down so much since all I had to work with were just straight cardboard tubes at work. Everything in black are 90 degree weld-els and and then just T's. Comes out to a total of 8-90's and 5-T's. All done in mild steel cause it's gonna be wrapped in header wrap to help keep heat out of the intake manifold above it so I don't need the stainless and won't have to worry that much about cracking as much hopefully. Suggestions, comments, big boobies pics, other ideas.

COuld be just a split T3 since he wasn't really sure and has been under the weather and hasn't really got a chance to check it out. Here's the snail that I'm getting

I would but I still need the turbo and not sure if the masking take will hold that Holset but I'll try. I'll keep one of these nearby when I start it up. :P
