buy a welder just to make a manifold? so welder + supplies + time = a whole lot of wastes resources

just buy one and save yourself some headache

There is a such thing as a tack welder, it's called a spot welder. since you can't discern between the two you should not buy a welder, cause chances are you've never done hard work before. welding is hot and messy but the completed product is what you make of it.

I bought my own welder to make my isht up but I've made a lot of other stuff with my welder also, don't just buy the wlder to make the manifold, but if you do buy one buy a nice one so I can buy it off of you at the used price.

I am pretty sure you don't need a welder...I think you can just solder and heatshrink a manifold.
