I hear you Dave :)

the longer pipe can be tigged on according to preferred owner setup.

Here is another take (a bad one should be tapered curved but couldnt do it) of using reinforcing bridges and later maybe add some midway injector nozzle embossed nipples to face the inlet ports straight on from midway on the outside in case someone wants injection they the material is there to just drill and tap. If not can easily be machined off the side.
