Quote »...as opposed to a crush bent manifold?[/quote]well i am going to have one made, already spoke to the guy, and saw some of his work, very good fabrication, very creative, but crush bent pipe... and not the best raw materials, no mandrel bender in the island... hey i'm in the caribbean here, the third world, hehe...
i wanted to get teh pieces of pipe myself from a muffler shop (8 x 1.75" U bends with as tight a bend as possible), cut them and tape them together, take it to a muffler shop and let tyhem weld it up for about $20 (labour here is rediculously cheap, i payed $200 US to get an engine installed once

)
i know someone who has one of those fancy pipe saws that cut through 304 stainless like butta..
you guys ever saw my paper roll collector for my manifoild??? posted in in general..
