Yeah i've seen manifolds like that before. To take the stress off to aid in crack prevention, or it might have warped when he did the welding...
still useable

haven't you ever looked at the half million pics of turbo manifolds on H-T/hmt? If i was going to spend a couple hundred bucks I would sure as hell do some research.

I have, i guess just not enough. I've looked at several different set ups already, just not close enough to see those cracks.

the cuts are usually made because on normal eq lenght manis most are ade of stainless while the flanges are mild steel...both contract and expand at different rates...therefor the cuts allieviate some of the stress so i flex and keeps it from warping
