they aren't flowing "into" each other; they won't collide like atoms and explode. #1 and #4 don't fire at the same time so it doesn't even matter.
But if that's your argument for what makes one better than the other, I suggest you look closely at OP's #1 and #4 as well.

Thanks 888a, I actually have no idea why I was banned, but its MT, you get that.
The issue is the wall thickness of the pipes and the amount of weld protruding inside these pipes, and the fact that it has a much higher surface area.
So in essence, its larger and lets more heat escape lowering efficiency by lowering enthalpy, and I doubt it flows as nice as the smooth insides of the basic log manifold.

Anything here flows better than the steampipe log with the outlet hole cut in it. Hell, a cast log flows better than the steampipe logs because there is some attempt at directing the outlet gasses.

got it, I was more just considering flow pathway.

Typically i don't post things I've created for the first time, but I felt happy with the outcome.
I gained quite a bit of knowledge just making this "diaper" of a manifold. When I order the pieces for the new manifold more time and effort will be placed into it. Plus I now have a jig and that was the most important part, now I can take my time with the new one.
It does look like a diaper now: or the scarecrows head from the batman cartoons:
I'm not sure why I decided to go with 2" pipe, originally I was planning on 1.75" but I just kept bending the 2".
The welder I was using is a millermatic 252.
Sure, if you don't mind the lack of flanges on it. I launched it into the scrap container from the back of a beat up s-10 from 100 yards away using a large water balloon sling shot (the sling beast). but I'm sure I could dig it out.
Just let me know when your in town and you can swing by the shop to get it.

Lol! I'm waiting for "nothing is good enough for you guys". I can't wait to post pics of my new setup so I can get props for trying, but critized at the same time.
Props on making that jig. What type of welder did you use? Obviously it was mig, but I mean, was it a small 110v unit?
