I have seen them welded before, I would put a bigger plenum on the runners if your going to be cutting and welding, and your better off going side feed if your going to do that. I keep considering hacking up my rmr to change to side feed as I run boot mount at the moment with rear entry throttle like your planning.

The big bit that the runners go into, stock one has got a sticker on the top.

Give 3S a message I know James has made couple or more cutom inlet manifolds, he might be able to offer some help :thumleft:
