Thanks for the comments, naw that’s not a problem at all as a matter of fact you can hold it with your bare hands after running the car hard. The only part of that system that gets real hot is the turbine side and the manifold. Funny enough the manifold cools real fast because of the stainless pipes. I have always had custom setups on all my cars, that way you get it done the way you really want. One thing for sure you will never see another manifold like that one. It was real hard to do you cant appreciate it unless you see it in person, the pipes go way down and come up to make it equal as length as possible. My friend that did said it was such a pain in the @$$ that he wont do another one unless they pay $1600.00. I paid $800.00 but with all the mods (fans, pipes etc 1100.00). The wastgate is connected to an even larger pipe that dumps back into the downpipe connected with flanges..It is sweet. Everyone that sees it is like DAMN! It is overkill for what I have now but not for what I have planned

Isn't the dezod kit a top mount? that was one of the things that drew me to that kit.

so is yours fully equal length? You said "as equal as possible"

Give or take a minute amount. The pipes are very large and the space is really tight so he did the best he could. My main concern was to fix the boost creep problem I had which it did. Just for the record an equal length header on a turbo car does not make a big difference as on a N/A car. It is really for a quick spool up but even that can be argued. My car spools up super faster because of BB turbo anyway.
