I'm thinking this may be some guys attempt at trying to be competetive with the "Ebay" manifold prices. If he buys a cnc flange for $50, t3 flange for $10, then use scraps from around the shop, and a little galvanized fence post tubing from Home Depot, hes only in it around $80.00 :-) I remember being bad as a fabricator, but never this bad. lol

The manifold looks hideous. Saving any amount of money cannot compensate for the feeling when you pop your hood and everyone starts snickering. To say "it works at least" would not even cut it. There are handfulls of manifolds that will "work" but no excuse for that hastily constructed manifold. Cant wait for the intercooler pics, lol.
