the first (really the second) turned out to be nickel weld....because the "professional" welder i took it to decided that the manifold was cast iron. The second weld was TIG IIRC.
But regardless of how well it was welded...you cant weld a stress point, continue to heat and stress it and think it's going to hold again for the 3rd time
i doubt it would have failed to begin with if I hadn't bolted the downpipe up. It also came cracked, after I put that kit together (bought second hand without an ounce of knowledge) I took it straight to a dyno. While it made 170rwhp with just a FMU/bipes and 6psi, it also was apparent the construction was **** and there was a reason he sold it.
