I see what you're getting at here and I agree. The bend does mess things up a bit for the recently posted manifold. That's not to say you can't design around that problem, but it would seem they did not.
Also, I don't exactly like their treatment of cylinders 1 and 2. I'd prefer more of a taper in the plenum there. Maybe they did it for sheer volume? Who knows...
Yes, it doesn't live up to the manifold design I posted previously, but the idea is there and I'd still argue it could be done properly, taking advantage of an angled entryway to the plenum.
