BTW I'd just like to mention your DP will flow better if you were to increase the bend radius by shortening the 3-4" transition. Turbulance from sharp diameter increase > head loss from sharp bend. I'd also get two of those stainless non-braided flex sections for the up pipes. I've seen some on ebay, they look like the types used on the oem supra manifold and subie up pipes. Like the curve section on a bendy drinking straw. That would eliminate 99.9% chance of your welds cracking.

Agreed on the DP.
Seamed close radius bends are easy to get these days,and they will affect spool in a positive manner vs the whitey build.

Going to be interesting to see what itīll deliver as the bugs gets sorted out.Have a weak spot for huffed V8s..
