glass-beaded stainless schedule 40.....looks cool.. now it's GOLD

 

I'd like to see a spool comparison of two identical manifolds. One using schedule 10 ss and the other using schedule 40 ss.

 

nice mani, its about time you up dated your site. im looking foward to seeing that dyno up and running, my bros gonna be boost soon

 

I think whatever benefits a thicker manifold would have as far as keeping the heat in would be negated by the weight benefits of the lighter manifold. Dyno #'s only mean so much.

I'd rather have the heat be used to spin the turbine wheel than soak into the manifold so I can cook marshmellows off of it.

the only reason I feel that schedule 40 is used is so there's a 100% guarantee that nothing will break. In the world of the internet if one manifold cracks than every manifold that company makes is than considered shitty. Companies don't want to take that risk so they use a material thickness that is unnecessary.

 

I :heart: roasted marshmallows though... and especially smores.

 

do you have any pics of what it looks like after you put some heat to it ??

We must build a new Ramhorn, a chocolate ramhorn.

You can't control heat and metal though ( when its on the car ) . People make manifolds out of 18 gauge metal and look how thin that is.

As of keeping the heat in, why not use sch10 and wrap it or get it coated ?

yeah we've been busying getting things together.. bunch of fabrication work in the winter time along with engine building... thx for the props

 

looks gold.. i'll post some when i get my new camera..

we use both sch40 and sch10. customer gets the end pick!!! this customer picked sch40.. good for him it may never crack i know everyone has different opinions on thickness etc etc... just thought i'd post this mani since it looked cool being it was glass beaded. beaded to get that ugly coat off.......i'll post quality of weld when my new camera arrives..

 

Yea, glass beading manifolds does give them a nice look when it all discolors to the same goldish hue...







Only thing that sucks, is that after a while, that goldish hue turns a bit ugly with dirt and crap... well, so do all the finishes i guess. This is the easiest to re-do though.. just bead it again, and it'll be like new... hehe. The polished and shiny ones aren't quite as easy to restore.

For the same size of pipe, the sch40 would spool faster but the sch10 would support more flow. Why? Same OD, different ID.

As for heat transfer, the thermal resistance of steel is low enough that you would never notice a difference between sch10 and sch40 manifolds. The greatest amount of resistance is convective, at the surface.
