anything cast need to be heated and gali will flake away as you heat it with a torch it just a surface coating actually if you dont remove the galvi coating it will make the weld weaker

i seen dthose but they wanted $21 for each T. i dont really need a mani at the moment since i already have one but if i was gonna spend that much i would just buy soem from Ace or somehtign like that since their a sponsor. but ---- even doing it like that you can make a pretty quality manifold for under $60
