well, for one the welds look like it melted too much of the stainless, hence the welds are quite concaved inwards (can't find the proper explanation). I'm guessing the fabricator used too little argon to cool the welds. but this is just me, everybody has their own style or way.
and the braces aren't needed when the builder knows what they are doing. I had mine done at a friend's shop and for 3 years know (thank God) it hasn't cracked yet. as long as it's welded properly and stainless of correct thickness is used (I hear sched 40s last a very long time), it's gonna last.
Just check out these manifolds. Not a brace in sight fing02.gif
