coolness,
Hey is that a teal engine bay I see!?!??
HAHA cool, I've been considering painting my car, but was worried about the enginebay, looks like its no biggie
btw, how much did it cost you to make that manifold,
maybe you could make me one?
if you wanted you could probly go into business sellin em on ebay even.

You can buy all the necessary tubing et your local muffler shop (for downpipe, exhaust system and downpipe). I use dynomax galvanized 2-1/4 and 2.5 depending on the need. You can get the elbows for the manifold et mcmaster.com under carbon steel butt to butt wled (schedule 40 and 1.5inch). The flange for the turbo can be custom maden and the head flange as well (you can buy it at cheapturbo.com . About me, I got my part from some locals in here, they have better price than those.
I welded everything with a nice Lincoln 110V 90Amp at 20% duty cycle with flux core wire. Was easy, I had no experience at all (I have a Master degree in Business Management here in Montreal, so absolutely no connection to mecanics, but it's a hobby for me)
So all I can says is try it, you will know !!!
Cheers
