Looks pretty good! What diameter(s) did you use for the tubing?

I've used 1.75" for the primaries, then it merges into 2" secondaries and finally going into a 2.5" collector.

Sounds nice....once you get it complete, how about some dyno #s followed by a pricetag to make a second one?

yes I've been fabricating manifolds and TIG welding for about 7 months now. Still learning.

It's TIG welding. It's suppose to look like that.
