Stuart, I am not disagreeing with you by any means. I was merely trying to explain to Mike why the bend are important and not insignificant like he believes. Honestly I have worked with the attempting to locate a gt30r under the hood and still maintain an equal length manifold and its damn near impossible without rerouting the water pipe and dealing with a tight radius tubing. Sched 10 makes tight radius even more difficult.

Your design is very well done considering you have no cheater cuts. Equal length based on my personal efforts will result in a long tube header placing the turbo to the drivers side. I hate the design which is why you dont see me with one.
