New Stock Turbo Replacement Header

We just finished up a stock turbo replacement header that we are going to be testing this week. If all goes well they will be available for immediate sale once we have tested them and are happy with the power it makes. This a divided header that features long tube 1.5" runners, 304 stainless steel sched. 10 pipe, and the header is fully tig welded. Here are the pics:

Can we get more details of the benefits of this design? I know you haven't proven it yet, as you said you are testing. But can we get a little design theory? It doesn't look like the other manifolds I've seen around here. It also does look pretty close to that radiator hose, you don't need any heat shielding there?

Its close to the runner. We are going to include heat wrap for the upper rad hose.

We wanted to make a long tube stock replacement header. This design made the runners as long as possible in the tiny space we had to work with. The manifold is not equal-length as one runner is a bit shorter then the rest. I will post the results after we test it.

Keith, what does this manifold do? Speed up the exhaust gases? Slow down the exhaust gases? Make the exhaust hotter? Make the exhaust cooler?

I could understand that perhaps an equal length header might offer some benefit over the stock manifold. This manifold has me stumped. I'm just curious what exactly is this manifold supposed to do?
