Re:Pic **Custom Manifold** almost completed
here's a Q, did you have to "squish" the pipes at all to match the ovals of the flange?

when i made the fullrace knockoff i just put the pieces in a big bench vice and it ovaled out quite nice with out heat.

HEre's a question.. if the pips are actually more round, and the port ont he flange actually smaller diameter than the pipe, would it matter if it were "squished" or not?

Looking nice but isnt that flange a bit thin? 6 or 8mm rigth?
i used 10mm thick iron on this:
as an alternative i have also bougth a manifold from a different car with a tubular mild steel manifold wich i am in progress with modyfying for fitting my engine and the turbocharger.
This one has a 12mm thick flange.
pic shows the manifold in untouched condition.
