my hm mani
i'm not entirely happy with how it turned out. these things are a lot more difficult to make than they look. when i make my second one i'll be doing it a bit differently. i didn't really plan this one that well. details: cnc cut flanges by me, 1.5" 304ss 10guage elbows and straight pipe ss tig welded by me. it sure is nice to have access to the right tools. if i were to start making these, how much do you think i could get for them?

You couldn't probably get too much with the collector looking like it does. $300 is a good guess. the reason the expensive ones are expensive is because they are made well, with attention to detail. like the way the collector merges, and flows. good luck with them, it looks good, better then I could do, but I wouldn't buy one unless they were really cheap.

bambooseven, yes i know the collector looks like poopoo, that is what i am most unhappy with. i think i went about making it the wrong way. it is pretty difficult to get into some of the tight spots with a tig.
thanks for the input guys. i think 300 would be a good starting price, but i have to make a couple more first and up the quality a bit. does anyone have dimensions for a t3 flange? they seem to be the most popular. it would be even better if someone had a dxf or a dwg or even an mc9 file of a sketch. that would save me some time. i imagine bmc has all this info for just about every flange you could think of. i would understand not wanting to share it though.
