Didnt know what section to put this, so here goes. I am looking for someone that can help me make an exhaust manifold for my MR2 project. It is a basic design, but the cuts are too complex for me to even try to tackle with my limited tools and with the way they merge together at the collector. I am in Newport News for reference. If anyone is willing and capable to do this, please let me know. Here is a thrown together pic of what it should look like:



Everything except the head flange is stainless. The head flange is mild steel. I have got to get this done, so any help, or contact info for someone that can do it, is appreciated. Thanks and take care!

ive been staring at that picture for a few min now, and i dont know if its my monitor or what....but i cant tell if those tubes are merging together like a 4-2-1 or is it 2 go to the top and 2 go to the bottom type deal?

I am not sure how it would be described, but it would be like this one, but a LOT more compact and the runners obviously spread apart more, but the flat design is what I am looking for, so I guess 4 into 1 flat style :



Total measurement from head side of head flange to turbo side of turbo flange must not exceed about 6". I tested the measurements using the (4) 90s and the (4) 45s shown in the pic, and it worked out almost perfect, but I have no way to cut these things or weld them.

I will call them tomorrow to see if they are open. Thanks for the heads up!


PS - I know that this isnt the optimal design, but it is what I need for now to do what I want

Welding forum would be the best place and they have list of the welders.

Should I post it again over there, or get it moved to there. Thanks!

UPDATE: I went ahead and posted it in the welding forum too, but it doesnt get nearly the traffic as this one does.

Also, if any online places can do it using my materials, let me know as well. Thanks!

Anyone in Hampton Roads out there that can do this besides the one listed earlier?

I don't know how close you need someone to be? We are in Winterville, NC about 3hrs from you and could help you out.

I will be trying to get in touch with him on Tuesday it looks like. Thanks for the heads up!

EDIT: I just spoke with someone there and emailed him pics. I am now getting nervous about getting this done without the car actually being at a shop, but we will see.

I am assuming that I will want it tacked up first for fitment reasons, and then welded permanent, so it would be a little easier if they were fairly local to me, so that I dont have to ship parts back and forth. But, if no local options pan out, I will definitely look at other options. Thanks and I may be in touch soon. Take care!
