Welding sch. 10 to sch. 40
 

Ok so in a bit of haste i bought some 304L stainless steel sch. 40 90* elbows from mcmaster. Can't get ahold of anyone that makes a collector besides bmcrace.com and they only offer the collector in schedule 10. I'm not sure if its advisable to weld these two together or not for a ramhorn manifold application. I'm thinking that the thinner walls may cause a problem with structural integrity down the road. I'd build the collector myself but don't yet have the tools for it.

i can't spend $350 on a collector thats way too much.

Re: Welding sch. 10 to sch. 40
 

yea i can't see spending 350 on it even if it is 321 stainless!!

i was going to just buy one i thought maybe it would be cheaper because of my labor charge ;D but ill just fab one up

you have to admit that that collector is sexy
