Mild steel Manifold?
Read all the faqs and tried searching to no avail.
I am VERY familiar with welding MIG (GMAW 85% argon)with mild steel. Currently our shop car holds the world record for Fastest and Quickest FWD 3S using a LARGE single turbo system I built from scratch. But now I am taking that out and going to build a twin system so I need to make manifolds. I have 1/2" mild flanges already. I would rather use 16 gauge mild 2" tubing for ease of use/welding and cost then maybe get it coated. Is this adeqoute? |

www.honda-tech.com has a big welding/fabrication section. you could post there. but be wary.. everyone over there is critical. im gonna guess they will all tell u to use SS, but i've got a ramhorn thats made out of mild. its all sch40(idk how that relates in gauge sizing)
goodluck -Luke |

it will work fine if you're having it coated. Ceramic coat it and call it a day.

goodluck -Luke I have done the heat up and ben in a vice trick to get round pipe to match an oval flange port. Does this also work with schedule 40? I am worried about that since it's so thick. |

Re:Mild steel Manifold?
personally IMO, i think that 2" would be to big. sure you would have tons of flow, but no velosity.
it seems that 1.750 is the way to go |
