5SFE manifold, built to replace the oem cast one which has a really bad restriction on the #2 runner:

Looks tits. I just finished making a downpipe from my friends Mr. Two 2 nights ago that looks suprisingly familier. Yours looks way more pro than mine though :) Excellent work as always.

honestly i see some slight visual imperfections in your welds from time to time, or so it seems, but your ---- is always ------- amazing in looks and fit/function, which counts more? machine welds or crazy setups with no fitment issues?

at least he does it by hand, not some robot churning out manifolds that only pay for the cost of the robot.

yeah, i enjoy doing this stuff thanks guys. i like taking on a challenging project that most people wouldn't consider.

sometimes fitment isn't perfect and it isn't hard to spot those on manifolds (like the #3 to #4 runner joint). also, sometimes some areas are hard to get at to weld so they don't turn out as pretty as the easy to get at places. regardless, i will always stand behind my work and warranty it for life. that means if it doens't fit properly or it fails in any way, i will repair or replace it at my expense. and i'm not going to say i've never had to fix one, because i have had to fix some. atleast i learn from those issues and take corrective actions to prevent them from happening on any manifold i build in the future. in most cases it is the joint between the wastegate elbow and collector.
