im guessing the guy "eye balled" the locations of the mafs... i wont lie its crooked , as for the gaps... on the two pipes meeting each other and also where it meets the single pipe... dont worry about the gaps... honestly every fab guy or welder including myself... have all welded something together even when there was a small gap... its harmless bro... even if your boosted... it would only matter if there was like a o say 1/4 gap and he just filled it with weld... thats... a different story....

when you say bottom of the maf housings they welded those crooked also?

The bottom of the MAF housings you can see do line up with the cut outs in the intake pipe, SO the bottom of the MAF housing overlaps the cut outs?

I'm just worried about the gaps and the humps becasue I do not want them to create turbulence? Just a smooth air flow,

ah i get what your trying to say now... makes sense... pretty much pockets all over the place making the air flow fly all over the place right? that part i dont have an answer... but im pretty sure the new piece they are gonna make for you will be more refined im friends with isamu and the pics he showed look like quality craftsmanship
