Alright, I received this tubular for free, so I figured I'd goof around with it. Looks to me like a fleabay special.
I've looked it over, can't find any cracked welds, and honestly this thing is heavy! I've seen a pacesetter manifold and that thing is definitely made of beer cans, bit this has to be almost as heavy as my evo 3 manifold.
I put a straight edge on the flange and wow, pretty crooked. I doubt it will even come close to sealing once I bolt it up. I might try to remove some material off the middle of the flange, and maybe blend the welds on the ports a little smoother, without removing too much material.
Any other ideas on this thing? Maybe some one has some info on installing this. I'm going to use my ARP Stainless turbo bolts, and new gaskets all around.
