Default Another DIY Manifold-pics *UPDATED*

Ok guys, let me know what you think. It's made with Weir racing mild steel flanges, it will be used on a Honda SOHC ZC(JDM A6), with a Mitsu TE04 turbo. The runners are made from 2" 304ss. It took approx 6 hours to make. I welded it while it was attached to an old A6 head and it is glass flat. It was fully purge welded, although it's a bit rough on the inside from where I plasma cut the holes for the 2 middle runners. I learned a ton from this build and will be building another very soon. I had intended on building a equal length, but on the car this is for thtere is ZERO room. My EG will be equal length, I start on that one this Wednesday.
We'll be using a Turbonetics Deltagate WG so I'll have to add an external WG port, but overall this manifold is done.
It's because of HMT that I started building this stuff so many thanks guys. Here's the pics:

It's not a coating, it's just been glass beaded(sandblasted) Yes I did the welding. Aaron, the 2 middle runners are just tubing, not elbows. It was not easy to do those, but they look OK. Now we'll see how it performs, the build is going along nicely. I just finished the FMIC yesterday, it looks OK but we had to do some really crazy fitting on the inlet, I'll post pics when I take them.
Oh, and thanks Spenser, a fellow Albertan

Actually I have a Spoon header on my car that I glassbeaded, it still lokks pretty good, but yeah I guess it'll change colour a bit more with the extra heat.
