Flux core at it's finest i see Please tell me you didn't use regular old exhaust pipe from an auto parts store for that collector piece. That'll crack and break off in a week...just like my first one did :P

i made a manifold entirely from exhaust pipes that survived being on at least 4 cars over the past 3 or so years...only cracked a little by the head flange where i had to grind into a weld for the nut to fit on

Holy ---- that manifold is mean looking. Looks like it could of been possibly a weapon used by a midevil warrior. That head flange is mad thick.
