HMT used to have a pic of an aluminium adapter plate, with a BIG ASS whole melted in the side....

If your EGT's get a bit high, the aluminum will more than likly melt.

Can it be done? possibly... factory heads are cast aluminum.

thats not a hole thats a wastegate!

Re:aluminum exhaust manifold
 

It will work for NA headers but not for turbo. the melting point is way too low. even 6061 t6 which is pretty sturdy material melts at aroung 1200 deg.

you might be able to make a cool intake header - no seriously, I'm making one myself.

Wait wait wait.. intake header? That's a contradiction in itself.

You mean intake manifold?

then technically it should be called an Exhaust Manifold ;)

Uhm, if he meant the exhaust side. Who knows what he meant. :P
