Why? The welds look like the hold fine, sometimes its function > form. If all you have is a stick welder, then thats all you have.

I got lucky enough to get a TIG unit hand me down. But not everyone can afford tig or even mig unit. Stick welders are hard to get a small bead with.

apart from the welding, his choice of materials is... different

i don't think those things were much of an upgrade

That header was pretty cool, I can't say for sure since I've never seen a stock unit, but It looks like it would be an upgrade. Had a very steam punk feel to it, if you could complete that theme why not do all your upgrades like that?

not to put any bad names on the forum but i bought the kit from a guy on here who said it was a direct bolt on kit but it wasnt i had to modify and bend and weld pipes myself. but he told me it was a no name brand. as like me i have a 93 rx7 aswell and that is my baby so she gets all the good goodies. i went a lil lower budget on this build and the bov is a rfl nothing fancy something cheap. this is gonna b my dd so it didnt matter to much.

Yeah I feel you, I heard you gotta re-drill the holes from the elbow to correct any fitting issues. From what I see is definitely a Godspeed FMIC kit, though it can be M-Spec FMIC as I could be wrong, never seen M-spec installed before.. but your engine bay looks great! congratulations amigo!
