I was wondering when someone else was going to notice the welds.
Definitely not the way it left the factory. :?

i agree, it does look like it that now you mention it - ive not touched it since buying it myself, except taking around 4 hours to clean it properly up.

maybe had a replacement header end sometime in its life? it just looked very shiney to me

Someone's had them rewelded, due to blown welds would be my guess.
Rather that than a leaking manifold.
Considering how old it probably is its not that surprising for a used part.

The mugen header isnt welded at that join normally, it's like a push fit jobbie. Mine was leaking in the same spot last year and had the same welds added

Correct on the outer face. How it should look...

But the inner face (gasket side) I'm pretty sure is welded and then faced-off...
