Made my own manifold for 12.97
 

well i was bored today and i was planning of having a manifold built, but i got a idea to try and build my own turbo manifold, so i went to homedepot and purchaced 2 90 degree 1 1/4 bends and two 1 1/4 T looking things. well I used the flange off my old stock exhaust manifold as a guide and measured what size the manifold would have to be.I cut off all the threads then welded everything up.well its nice looking manifold for 12 dollars.as soon as my manifold flange in and i make a turbo mounting flange i'll be done...do yall guys think this manifold will work?

What kind of pipe did you use?
plumbing? electrical conduit? :o

I went to home depot and they only have those plubling pipes, but they are cast and not the weldable kind. How did you do it ?...

pics ? ..

Re:Made my own manifold for 12.97
 

I heated the pipes with a torch ,then i just welded them, it was not hard.

oh yeah, i don't know what kind of metal it is, or what there for. i got them in the plumbing section...i have not found any metal that i couldnt weld yet...haha

I dont have a digital cam..and i dont think the manifold is gonna work, i talked to a guy and he said when it gets hott it will break apart.. oh well.

Heat it up really hot with a blowtorch and see if it starts coming apart or not. That's how you'll find out!
