Dang it Kevin, slow down, your getting ahead of me!   Looks real nice though.  My original headers were welded just like yours (on outside of flange) and I only had one minor crack that I fixed.  The racer guys recommend welding pipes on the inside of flange and I did that on the Renesis manifold.  Too early to say if it works better or not.

I have my engine upside down right now while I work out oil cooler location.  My welder gave me some 321, so that's why the front rotor has an additional weld.  That plywood box is a spintech muffler mock-up, although it's not in place.  I plan to run it against the fire wall.  With my belly scoop I can't run the exhaust down there (damn!), so it will go out the side, a la turbine engine I guess.  I was lucky to have the welded up part able to slide on around the engine mount, easy to forget when you are playing with individual pieces.
