Re:aluminum exhaust manifold

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.

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.
