those are the holes for the exhaust to get to the bungs that have the plugs on them. If you wanted to setup a EGT gauge, it would read right off the head.

evo joe, what if i have a welder reinforce the welds already on the manifold. will it hold up then? i heard of the manifolds cracking but i also hear people say they never cracked either.

It would probably be less likely to crack if you made sure to use an 02 housing that has the oem support mount tab. The megan manifolds are not exactly the best ones out there but I know someone who has been running one on his dd evo for a few years now and his hasnt cracket... yet. I would personally sell that manifold and use the money to have your oem manifold ported by buschur.
