the pics are kinda hard to see.

your op sd it was only tackd so im guessing your requesting feedback on how you have them run ? looks like one of the runners is alot shorter then the other 3.

just take some better pics of the collector and the inside of the pleneum after u get them all tigged and lets see them.

I think you should go into production and sell them on H-T for crackhead prices until your workload overwhelms you. At that point you'll start your second job at mcdonalds to help refund the money of cheap H-T n00bs that sent you money for a manifold. /scenario

looks great! where'd you buy your collector? What are you going to weld it with?

i already work at micky Ds im hoping to make a career out of it, and dont worry im working over time alot so i can refund all the NooBs money i raped them of with this mani. that im going to mass produce. after all my main concern is making these and selling them not to put this on my car.

and as for the collector, i made it with cheese burgers i stole from mcdonalds. so dont get the idea that i may have made it myself threw hours of trial and error with pvc
and i plan on welding it with used cooking oil that hardens up at the seams... LOL

jk i dont plan on selling it BTW

What causes these business' to crash are these things:
Crack head prices.

You cant maintain a business when your selling products for 1/2 of what they should be sold at. After Production costs and other hidden costs you end up in the hole and you find your thumb up your butt wondering how come your unable to grow and prosper.

foreal

To the OP:

Lookin good

I would put several tachs on there then make sure you prep the manifold really well. Should turn out nice.

You gonna weld the runners on or off? You gonna weld the collector first, then reattach the runners, or just weld away? The next steps make or break the thing.

Nice job on the collecter joe! looks like it fits up nice and tight and that's not easy to do. I'm impressed.

What did you use for flanges?
