Does anyone else ever look at an exhaust manifold like that, think "Oof that's gorgeous" and then, just for a moment, think "I'm a sad curse word"...

It's all in the details.
And yes, that type of thing does give me the horn.

Impressive!  Manifold looks like some muscle bound novelty balloon maker made it!  |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts |

Looks good  But its massively over complicated and actually worse than a simple log manifold for a turbo The primaries lengths are huge for a turbo engine that size, then comprimised by the sharp bends just out of the head.... The heat loss through that system will be crazy, far better to keep the pipe runs short and the heat (Energy) inside the pipes I just see losses everywhere with that  Like I say, looks nice but not the best solution |

On the other hand, I'm an automotive engineering student so I should know about that sort of thing  . Still, learn something new every day  |
