He uses a basic ESAB mig wire feed welder, I work with him and he welds 40 hours a week and then some so I trust his work. Personally I can handle a tack weld ok, so I'll mock it up and take it to him.
As for a pre-made collector, funktify that. I want to try to make the 4 manifold tubes 1 piece from flange to flange, it probably won't happen but ill still try. Between my ability and ideas, and my bro in law's ability and ideas, we ought to be able to make something strong that works nicely.
So 1.5" on the runners? How thick? Should I stick to the .120 wall?

make sure you do a good mockup..

Also, on 1.5" runners, .120 wall would reduce inner diameter to 1.25". Go up to 1.75"?!?
