When making their own exhaust do people leave the entire base plate on then mount the inlet on top of the exhaust (so needing two gaskets I guess) or do they make the exhaust on the plate then cut out the inlet parts so the inlet manifold sits on the block between the exhaust manifold flanges (on the same gasket).
Nick's picture above shows both styles. I imagine all on one plate is easier to keep flat. Or at least to make it so after fabricating it. But then cut each of the 3 sets of exhaust pipes might have more flex allowing them to bolt up hard to the block?
