Once read on an American Audi Forum about a guy who took his Audi in for service and they have him an A3 1.8 Turbo. He had photo's on there of the Exhaust glowing red halfway down the car. I wish I still had them.

Good to see someone with the imagination to have a go.

Is it Stainless or Mild?

Im sure you know, Stainless Manifolds are prone to cracking. I would put small strengthening plates on any areas that might be stressed. Such as between the Flange and the pipes

It really does look impressive though.

You really need to use inconel to stop the cracking, the main problem is due to the differing thicknesses of the system and the different expansion rates.

When i had my grale a few of the lads did lots of research into materials for manifolds and the only one suitable for the temp ranges was stupidly expensive and very hard to work (inconel).
