Finally got round to making a start on the exhaust manifold and I am quite pleased at how it has turned out so far :)

That looks great Colin. Will you be welding the flanges directly to the pipes or will you be attaching them in a way that allows them to rotate? On 12th Nov, 2009 Paul S said:

Looks really good. So the turbo goes above, I'm guessing to save on bulkhead mod's. Where's the downpipe going to run from the turbo? On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

I might have to modify the engine steady bar, but until I get the manifold welded, and the dummy engine in the car, i'm not going to think about it. I need to squeeze a 2.25" downpipe between the manifold and steady bar

That's a really good job Colin, I like the way they come together, lookslike it should flow well :) Yes the aim was to make the manifold as compact as posible but at least look like it would work. I had been toying with the idea of a log manifold for the simplicity, but, I intend to have a play with ALS for fun, so thought it better to have something that looks like it flows better. runners 1 and 4 were fairly easy, it was 2 and 3 that were a bit of a bastard, not wanting to fuck up the tube bends, I made each middle runner in two peices, and shaped a crown like piece to fit. There is a bit of a gap where those two pieces come together, but i'll ask my welder if he can fil the gap before I spend another two hours shaping new ones All the other joints come together neatly and all the welds have pretty good access.
Just need to work out an order of welding First is to get the stubs welded to the runners, so they can be bolted to the head and then adjust and cheat the rest of it

Don't know if it's applicable to the routing you're going to be trying Colin, but Micron used to make headers for motorcycles with a flattened profile, which they reckoned helped flow as well as fitting into a tighter space. They were called 'serpent' headers I think.

Welding done. The flange needs a skim to flatten it off again, there is about a 0.5mm bow in it and the internal tube needs a little cleaning up here and there. The 2.25" downpipe will fit nicely down past the manifold and engine steady, thats the next welding puzzle On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:

Also with my turbo flange I just flatted the meddle off a bit with a file and used a copper gasket, so you get a "ring" of high pressure on the gasket.b On 28th Aug, 2011 Kean said:

Looking good. I had to skim the flange on my manifold too, not the nicest thing to do on stainless. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel
