A bit of an old thread, but cool work nonetheless. I've done this to several NA manifolds (including my own) and TII manifolds and it really helps the look of the engine bay. It makes the engine seem more intricate. One could also argue that the increase airflow around the runners means a cooler intake charge, though I doubt it makes much of a difference.
Now just polish the casting marks off and either chrome, powder coat or anodize...

Hook me up on tickets.lol
Beautiful work you did to the manifold.
Can I send you a few of mines?
I can think of a few ways this helps and one of them being more space for heat to pass and escape from the area under the manifold.
Send me a PM.

Maybe a better phrase would have been functionless but different It does look a bit better, doesn't improve anything though. Even if you can now see under it, you can't reach through it to get to anything under it. And I sure any extra flow around it is negligible. All I meant was that it is aesthetically pleasing but that's it. Which is fine, since I'm that's all the OP was going for.
