Default I cant find anywhere that sells complete kits for DIY turbo manifolds???

Can someone please tell me a place that I can buy a whole kit with the flanges and bends to weld up my own SS turbo manifold? Ive been looking for like 30min and I havent gotten anywhere good, and I know someone on here knows. Preferably "ramhorn" style, but if I cant find one Ill just do a log style again. Its time for a new setup and since Ive learned how to TIG I would like to do it myself and save some $$$. Thanks everyone for the help

Don't bother.

By buying a kit you are paying someone to put all the parts you need into one box and shipping it to you. That's it. They pack a box for you.

well I dont really think I would be able to figure out all the bends and angles and **** for a ramhorn, even though Ive never tried. I do have access to all the equipment though at my school. Is it really that much of a difference in price with the extra time, math, cutting and thinking factored in? I know I could easily do a log in a matter of hours, but I really want to try a ramhorn

If you can weld good enough to make a proper manifold then you should be able to cut a few pipes. Just man up and buy ~15 bends and 3 flanges. Kids these days

Even if someone cut everything for you it is still very difficult to get everything lined up right. Designed my first ramhorn in SolidWorks to work out the bends and collector cuts perfectly.... Still didn't go together the way I wanted it and ended up having to adjust things.

wow I just now priced everything and it would only cost me $73 to make a new log manifold, and theyre like charging $200 for em on ebay. Im gonna do that I think, cause my manifold is ugly as hell and it would be easy. thanks
