question about making your own equal length manifolds???
 

well i have no welding experience so i'm thinking of buying my own material and going to a shop and have them make me an a/c compatible equal length turbo manifold for my 99 gsr.

how much am i looking to spend? anyone in socal area know of any places? as for the flanges/gaskets... i have no clue as of what to do

are you considering purchasing your own welder? You can easily drop $500 for the right setup. If you're going to a shop then I would definately say have them TIG it.

I just ordered all my ---- which came out to like $130 for mild steel

well i don't have the money for my own welder.. i'd love to do it myself though...

where did you order it from? what did you order? you welding it yourself?

anyone in socal area wanna chime in for a equal length manifold making session? ;D

buy a collector from shitbird, they look ------- nice. I'd suggest just buying one of his equal length's too, but the ----- won't make a/c compat ones :P

Re:question about making your own equal length manifolds???
 

well $ 650 is one downer, so is the noncompatibility to a/c... but they do look real nice though

Yah, but unless you really know what you're doing his collectors will be 1000000000x better than any homemade setup

not sure if its equal length, but it is AC compatable. beggers cant be choosers...

i posted that ---- like 3 minutes ago! lol

It's a basic log manifold, not equal length, has a 35/38mm TiAL wastegate flange that can be blocked off if you're running an internal wastegate.
