Re: materials for turbo manifold (criitter7)
sch 10 is plenty thick. Im building my manifold right now with sch 10 and it will probably wiegh like 30lbs when im done lol. If i could purchase material again for this project I would of probably drop down to regular 1.5" mandrel bent tubing (~.065 wall).

Personally, I would go sch 40 pipe/elbows. The extra material thickness will ensure your manifold retains its strength given all the heat cycles it will go through.

I think you are asking for trouble if you are considering using 1/16" thick tubing. I hope you plan on bracing the manifold in multiple locations.

I'm fairly sure that no other race cars use PIPE for their exhaust manifolds. Some even use thinner than 1/16" tubing...OMG it's gonna fall apart and kill us all! I've done a number of turbo manifolds with 16 gauge stainless and they all hold up just fine.

Interesting. Question, are you bracing your manifolds/turbos? What material are you using? 304 ss? 321 ss? and is that a tubular manifold? I'm curious.
