OK... now for the pictures.

This is what the 2.5 RS JDM manifold looks like with all the junk attached to it



After clearing off all the bolt on pieces you end up with something that looks like the following




After two and a half hours of cutting and grinding you end up with something that looks like the pictures below. You can see where I started grinding off the lower runs that end up going to a tube that sticks up right in the center of where the inlet is.





After another two and a half hours the following night I ended up getting it all finished. There are a couple holes that will be patched/welded and then ground down smooth. Once all the test fitting is done it will go out to the polisher





I left the two threaded tabs on the bottom because they line up with where the throttle body cable will need to run. I figure these will make good mounting points for a bracket holding the cable on the bottom of the manifold.
