I was expecting a nicely welded manifold, not a chop job with ITBs stuck on with rubber couplings. Although the idea is a good one, the execution leaves a lot to be desired. You could have easily welded the pieces together, then grinded and smoothed the beads down inside and out, even going as far to remove the casting marks to give it a production finish. Plus leaving all the OE flanges and extrusions for various parts that are no longer used makes it look very 'backyard' done.

Still curious to see the power gains up top, and the overall loss of lowend torque.
