my custom turbo s200
I hope that header has some sort of support... Would hate to see a crack in that beauty! The welds are not the prettiest, but that does not look like the funnest manifold to work on...
304 stainless?

I totally agree about the support though and using tubing that thin with no slip collector could cause some potential cracking issues (or not).

Most people are used to seeing welds from lovefab, fullrace, inline pro, etc. What you don't realize is that all of those companies make their manifolds out of PIPE not tube. It's obvious looking at that header that thin wall tubing was used instead of typical thick pipe. It is extremely easy as a welder to make perfect looking beads on thick stainless pipe, just turn the pulser to the right settings and be done this is MUCH harder on tubing where the thickness on the outer part of the bend can be half the thickness of the inner part of the bend...
