Good thing they put those fins there. Wouldn't want any of that nasty exhaust heat getting to the turbine side of the turbo.....

Sure would be hard to get to the bottom head/manifold bolts...

Here's an inside picsture of one of the halves...Looks like CNC to me:


Quote from the site:
<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">A turbo manifold like never before! Using Computer aided drafting and CNC machining we have built the ultimate in turbo manifolds. This beauty is machined from solid steel billet using our state of the art CNC machining centers. Using this patented method we have produced a header with vastly superior flow and unmatched turbo spooling. Each runner is machined to a race proven profile and is left perfectly smooth using carbide milling cutters. This manifold is light and compact yet is so durable that it comes with a lifetime warranty.

Steed Speed manifolds are machined in two halves which are TIG welded together after machining to create the finished manifold. As can be seen from the photographs, the quality is superb and the finished manifold is stunning in appearance. Looks are not everything though and these manifolds have been race and dyno tested to give you the ultimate in turbo performance.

All Steed Speed manifolds are coated in high temperature ceramic to enhance performance and preserve the beauty of your manifold.

Exactly... why the hell didn't they just make the outsides flat? Too plain looking I suppose? Maybe its stronger that way... without being too heavy? Wait no, the bottom one is just plain.

Wow! That's... different.

At first I thought "WTF," but based on the picture of the runners from the inside, it looks it a pretty decent unit. Very interesting - I'd love to see that dynoed aganist a bunch of manifolds. But then, I'd really like to see any bunch of manifolds dynoed directly aganist each other.
