They're the MTQ lowmount units. It was only 6-12 months ago they were selling for $700-800!

yea i saw that the other day, very nice, am curious to see how he went with the distortion, as each exhaust port has its own flange an i know how bad stainless distorts with heat, could cut a 1 piece flange anyways, and how thick the stainless is as i have heard that thinwall stainless will crack with the heat

It looks like the manifold is mild steel, and the wastegate and dump is stainless.
If i was going to build my own manifold, i'd get a set of extractors and cut off the flange as a starting point. Extractor flanges are usually webbed.
