yes it was a joke.mainly as a poke at tophat and they're less then top notch 'fab skills', seen quite a bit of their work and have YET to be impressed.not even sure if they actually made a manifold or just sold rebadged chineese ones.

ugh....don't tell me that! i guess we'll see when mine gets here. all i ot were crappy camera phone pics but it looks like they did a divided manifold and the welds look better then the ebay crap one i had. the ebay one i have they did mig welds then covered them with tig...really crappy. i got a guy that can go over all the welds as long as it fits i'm happy i guess

Haha Carl that's messed up.This guy probably pooped his pants for a sec. lolz

Yeah, no Comment on Top Hat Fabrications......

Make sure the manifold actually is divided from the collector and there's not just a plate at the flange. I've seen some ghetto ones like that.
