Sheet metal intake manifold, what thickness material you nogs use?
 
I got a ---- ton of .040 aluminum for free but that seems way to thin.. thinking of getting some .080

Just curious on the consensus.

thinner will mean less resistance to vibration and heat soak

depends on how much boost you want to run... i'd go with .125" my last manifold was .187"
