Evo8 is twin scroll housing, kind of a weird flange with 2 triangle-looking inlets ofset from each other.

fred, how did i burn your retinas? that manilog was going to be a center flanged log, but left me with no downpipe room, my steering shaft/master cyl are to thank for that one, so i had to flange it towards 1 and 2

Ok, i'm sorry, its unlike me to insult peoples work. Most sincere appologies.

To be fair, A you have improved endlessly since your fence post manifold that became world famous overnight B i am just being a fussy *****.

my comments :

this would have been a decent log mani with a centre outlet. but its not, and the runner with a cross on it is causing reversion and also overloading that feeder pipe to the flange.

the welds are splattery and rough, but solid and not as rough as your previous work. i shouldnt poke fun because my welds on my mani are somewhat rough too. in my defence i was welding 1.5mm thin wall mild steel at 10am, and you had nice thick steam pipe to not be able to ---- it up. but still. dont throw stones from glass houses right?

the other thing is, is it just me, or is that flange seriously banana shaped? could just be the camera angle...

what the hell is that patch i highlighted doing there? strange.

also, you painted it orange! wtf? lol that burned the most aesthetically. technically it was the reversed number 2 or 3 runner that burned.

spot ya

thats red oxide primer. i later hit it up with gray primer. that patch was from me realizing i couldnt cut the outside 90 any shorter, and realizing that i had to move it to get the rest of the piping to not need pie cuts to fit. it was thin as ---- metal too
