I have decided to build tubular manifolds, many of them. T3 and T4 footprints or whatever someone wants. Im going to make provision for external wastegates. I was thinking of selling them for $300.00 each. They will be made of mild steel and 3/16 wall black pipe. What do ya think? I know they are not a give away but I gotta make some money.

 

I have no money, but show me one made. I, as well as most people, like to see what they buy before they buy it .

Also, that actually sounds a bit steep, because the "common" thing to do is just use a stock 2nd gen manifold, then oval out the holes, or weld a 12A flange to it with the ears cut off the 13B manifold. Well, for $300 you could just buy an aftermarket manifold for a 13B and do either of those options to make it work on the 12A.

Ive modified more stock maanifolds then i care 2 mention and they work in pinch but are by no means a good flowing or proper setup. I forgot 2 mention the $300.00 price tag is in Canadian funds so I dont think that is steep at all. Anyone? Bueler?

 

Wow, Cool! For 300 Canadian, you're gonna do these?















Just Kidding...
I just like those pics..

 

Haha, I like them too DF. I like that manifold, and when I do my 12AT setup (if ever), Ill probably get ahold of the guy that did that one for ya .

I would consider gettind some if you could build them for a 74 RX-4 13B.

 

Are you going to use butt weld pipe fittings for the bends?
If you do I'd just use sch 10 pipe it's very strong, has about a 1/8" wall thickness.
$300 Canadian sounds like a deal to me. I woulden't make them for any cheeper.
I have a little over $100 USD in my 304SS manifold just in material alone.
