Spent a couple of hours on my manifold today. I am going to finish it up later this week.

That is freakin' dialed. How did you cut the center two pipes and merge them into the outer ones?

 

beater--I'm fawken impressed!

 

what tubing did you use? weld el's or regular mandrels?

 

What are you planning to use to cut the holes for the 2 middle runners? I know most people use a hole saw in a drill press, but yours is contoured. Just wondering if you have access to a plasma cutter, or if you're doing it another way. I'm going to be making mine pretty soon as well.

 

Aw, come on guys. Those pics are photochoped!lol j/k, nice manifold. don't take too long to post back. I'd like to make something like that one day.

 

thats the same thing that shitbird has for sale. looks good though

 

Where abouts can I get myself the parts to make a manifold?

BMC?

 

They are weld el's from McMaster Carr. The straight sections I picked up from a local resturaunt supply house. I just cut out the rought shape and started tweaking them untill they fit. To cut the holes in the center I used a plasma cutter. Quick and dirty and just used a die grinder to clean them up a bit. I will post up pic's of all of the parts when I am done.

I actually based mine off a manifold I saw on HT a long time ago. I noticed that Shitbird has one very similar. It is very easy to build.

As for the parts, I designed both flanges in CAD and took them to my shop and had them cut on a High Def Burn Table. I do believe that BMC does sell both of these flanges.

Thanks for all of the compliments. Next up is the downpipe and chargepipe fabrication.
