Is this used manifold good?

Someone is selling this manifold.

Can the pro here help me look at these photos and let me know if there's any potential problems with this.

Two of the flange holes looked like they are cut? Can this be work around? by placing a steel plate over it?

hard to say, for a honda manifold that would look like it would hang the turbo pretty low. But from reading your other posts you mention your doing this on a Toyota, so maybe they sit higher. It looks like a real "backyardish" style manifold. I'm really digging the "cone" merge

Yes, it is for a toyota 1zz-fe, and you don't see manifolds for toyota usually.

The seller replied saying that the bolt holes are like that. It won't affect the grip of the bolt I suppose?

The cone collector looks

I think it'll work as hot exhaust gas may get hotter due to the cone effect.

I would go for a JGS kit for the 1z. It's cheaper, and that looks a bit sketchy.

hmm if its a 1ZZ then it would have to hang down like that to clear the firewall. Kinda look like a modified aftermarket header the more I look at it. I'm with Sna, you'd probably be better off with a JGS Tools log.
