hi i was just wondering on must of you guys that are building your own turbo manifold, how much you spend from start to finish, compared to buying a manifold that is already built for your car. i mean you spend x amount to get a flange cut (if you cut your own and it looks like crap its not worth it to begin with. ) and x amount for bends and your time mocking it and welding it up,

p.s. who whats to build me a custom manifold

 

If you can't build it yourself why are you worrying about the cost of materials? It's called labor and anyone that can do it right knows the value of their time, that's the majority of the cost.

 

well said

 

I have right around $300 into mine in materials.

 

the ka24de one i made cost 160 for all the materials (flanges, pipe, 9 ss 90's). hard to calculate the full cost though, went through some discs, blades, gas, etc...

 

it adds up. i'm paying someone to weld mine so i'm hoping to come out less than 500cnd.
