The inlet welds are a bit cold on mine and it doesn't have perfect penetration throughout, but it's still fine - but lets remember you're talking about a £1k manifold so I'd expect it to be good!

The DP exhaust manifold was warped. I told DP. they knew about it, and said there was nothing they can do as it's part of how it's made. Mine was warped bad enough to pull a manifold stud out of the head and blow the manifold gasket. Titch's was warped, but not as bad. Brents (now ollies) was the same. And the three I've seen since. They really should get that fixed...

BUT - all the negatives aside, it does the job I want, and is an "off the shelf" item. Danny made his own, as have others, and have done what looks to be a job just as well. It's doable.
