Looks like a ghetto attempt at "virtually" creating more of a merge collector... Id probably rock the mani, but as for the Great pyrimid??? I dont know... id have to see how well it was integrated, welded, or whatever to the manifold. cause if that thing broke off, or apiece or whatever...BAD THINGS MAN- BAD THINGS.

Im not knocking it and understand the thinking behind it (i think), but....

Anyway itl probably be cool...

I see no welds holding it into place so i'm assuming they are on the other side but in any case i would say use it. just hope the metal don't get too hot in their and melt off even a small piece of metel and take out your exhaust wheel

Looks like a well-worn SSAC collector with a piece of petrified dung stuck to it. The thing is triangular in shape.... That doesn't make sense. There are a few other curious hunks of metal? attached to the flange itself, too.

Also note the cracks on the pipes near the ends.

Ideally, this is what it should look like.

Lol, that's EXACTLY what I thought when I saw it! What are those things called anyway? They're like compressed incense stick material.
