Question Stainless schedule 10 elbows and tee pieces ?

Anyone ever use these tee pieces to make a turbo log manifold ?

I found this post and thought it may be easier to assemble.

It would work but the flow kinda sucks. Depends on your goals I guess.

I have seen it done on some import 4cyls, but don't know how well they would work.
The guy in that thread talked about pulling them off to go back NA due to continual exhaust leaks, and he eventually swapped them for some stock flipped manifolds, so the 90 degree entrance into the manifold probably isn't the best. Using the 90's so you can angle the entrance is probably better.
