pics of my ramshorn style manifold for B series
i'm going to sneak a question into this thread.. 
is anyone modifying the els on the exhaust flange to oval shapes? i'm going to attempt this tonight and some tips would be great.
oh.. and nice manifold!

that's the exact same method I used when I did my mani.

I am curious, did you manufacture the collector from stainless straight tubing? Does anyone sell the collectors prefabbed?
Nice job, the mani looks damn good!
DO you have an ac friendly one?

well I got mine done last night, but I have to tell you guys that making a mild steel vs stainless steel mani is like the bigest difference in time consuming.
after spending one whole day mocking up and tack welding I spent another 6 hrs just on Tig welding that biatch.
I found new respect for the people that make these stainless manifolds. 98ctr
PS: ill post pics for you B18C1CYA.
BTW: I did use the collector from B18C1CYA :thumbsup:

What's up with the Thomas Kinkade puzzle? Man, I hate that guy. "Painter of Light?" That makes no sense. I just want to throw a brick though a painting of his. That would be pretty satisfying.
I hope you took these pics in your mom's sewing room...
But the manifold does look pretty good, so I guess I forgive you.
