i can live with the stories of the elongated bolt hole being needed, and i can live with the stories of the inside holes not being drilled because they arent used.

what i cant live with is returning a BRAND NEW MANIFOLD in a condition that appears as if it has been dropped, knicked and scratched and dinged and CRACKED

now they want to say all it needed was to be welded and bead blasted....well, honestly, they should have done that before ever even considering the job finished.

as for all the people on tech saying "its a custom part and not designed that way and things dont look perfect but it wont affect performance".... i dont see any of them offering to buy it and use it themselves...
