Oh man. Your a jerk. I just got a manifold. If these had been available 2 or 3 months ago, i would have paid for one asap. That is some beautiful work. Lame.

Beautiful work man. It takes some serious skill to weld and make a manifold like that. Big thumbs up. Anyone says different needs their head examined.

I didn't bash anything on there. There is a lot of misinformation, and my welding rod is bigger than your welding rod BS going on in there. Pretty welds aren't always strong ones, and ugly ones aren't always poor ones. I could fuse two pieces of stainless together and have them "look" that "pretty" and it would fall apart in no time. That's simply fact. The other guy saying not to use stainless for a turbo header due to movement obviously hasn't made many.

Welding appearance is like fingerprints its different and unique for every welder, been around the same guys enough, and you can tell who welded what.
