well, i don't know much about rotaries, but i made a manifold recently and thought i'd post it up to get some feedback/critiques. i also posted it in the single turbo forum.

might be able to get away with it ... but because of the rotary heat ... you could potentially warp them. An extreme video but should tell you how hot they can run 
you can fast forward to 1:55

The rotary pushes far more exhaust heat then piston engines. Under boost that manifold will run white hot. Cruise EGTs are around 1600 degrees. 3/8" is really pushing it. As Sam said it may hold up, then again it may not. You'll find most if not all of the aftermarket manifolds for rotary use are 1/2" or larger.

wow manifold looks ****ing sick. those are some sick fab skills. i think the thickness should be fine. although they do run extremely hot.
one other thing, is that 3/8 cold roll by any chance? cause if it is then there should be no problems.

i've seen that video before. that is a pretty extreme case. i don't think this manifold will see more than 400hp so i'm sure it will be fine.

i think the wg is a 46mm, but when i measured the flanges they are 38mm. i'm not sure how tial designates the wg size, maybe it is because the valve is that large?
