i don't think you're going to save much money, if any. when most people try to build their own kit to save money, they either build their own manifold or buy a very cheap one, like the hks cast. you will also need to get a downpipe made after it is installed.

Yep, having done it, you don’t save that much. Then you run into having to fab parts which isn’t bad, but install times out weigh the cost savings.

but your on the right track,

This is very true the time involved in mocking up the manifold and test fitting and refitting is were the difference lies.
