A plasma cutter, In hindsight I would have put something inside the manifold when I cut it because it left splatter everywhere, but most of it came off with a polishing wheel.

If I were to sell these, what would a good price be. SSautochrome manifolds seem to fly out the door, even thouigh we all know they are garbage. Is the market already saturated? Should I even bother?

the manifold market is decent. most of the people already making them are usually too backed up to keep up.

you could probably sell those like hotcakes for $250 or so if you added a gate flange.

So 250$ US with a Tial WG flange? That's certainly doable. Now what would an equal length, A/C compatible manifold go for? And do people really care? I see log manfolds sell like mad, mostly due to the price I'm sure, but they flow like ***, does the average HMT'er even care? They're so easy to make, I could probably make more money selling them, but I like stuff that works well. Hmmmmm...I'll have to think about this one.
