Cut in between the ports. There is a reason mine are individual ports

I might end up doing that. But for what they cost I shouldn't have to. I think the stock ones will be fine until I have time to modify my up pipes to run a 6.0 style manifold.

The 6.0 manifolds were $45 and will be here tomorrow. I'm going to try and work some magic on the RCD manifolds and get them straight so I can sell them. If that happens I will upgrade the 6.0 mani's to something better.

Weird thing is the truck drove great aside from the tick from the leaks sh!t even with the leaks it was hard to break 1100 degrees . I can't imagine how good it's going to drive the GT4088R with no exhaust leaks.

Pretty much complete with just a few loose ends to tie up.
1. I need to make a filler piece for the section I had to cut out of the hood to clear the atmo.
2. I need to make a permanent mount for the coolant resi I'm using for the turbos. I'm using the old fuel cooler
3. I need to figure out a way to combine the nest of positive battery cables form the passenger side and remount the second battery on the passenger frame rail.
4. I think I'm going to polish the intermediate pipe I'm not really digging the paint.

Ohh and I forgot to add that I am loving this Elite stage 5 transmission and 13" dpc converter. I can't wait to get my built trans file and see if it can get better.

I don't know why I double posted that first photo.

So somehow I missed this when welding up my manifolds. I must have had too much to
drink that evening.

And I'm going to try these.

Instead of these.

If you get tired of trying to get that to work for you let me know, if have a couple ways to make the 6.0 manifolds connect to the up pipes seal and last.

The v band sealed fine. The problem was my lazy drunk a$$ mig welding the flange instead of waiting until I was sober and tig welding it.

Not trying to be a dick - just asking. Not worried the drunk mig welds may crack after heat cycles?
