    Thanks Nub, you guys on all the fab forums keep me sharp. Here's one more to keep you practicing.

    The manifold gods said, "Let there be nice welds!" And so there was, and it was good.

    Freaking awesome. I love the rainbow look of clean stainless welds.

    Do you grind the flange flat after you weld it? I faced mine after welding and was glad I did. Then again, I was using schedule 40 pipe which may have had the upper hand against the flange.

    We surface all the flanges after welding to ensure its flat. We also use Sch 40

    Been working on this a couple of months ago







    Made it in my parents garage, with only anglegrinder at hand to cut all the bends etc (sucks bigtime)

    Also did a custom front end, wich resulted in creating a hellaluva amount of space for the intake.

    I'm not sure yet, i've got a SS baseplate that i can bolt to the stock lower manifold + all the stacks etc. In SS.
    Weight and heatsoak wise Stainless wouldn't be the best route. But it's the only material i can work with at home, with my car at hand for fitment.

    I don't think this qualifies as being "badass" and it certainly is not on the level of all the other excellent work in this thread, but I'm proud of it. Novice welder and my first time welding aluminum. Miller Diversion 185.

    Had to modify my intake manifold to clear the compressor housing and hook up to an AWIC.
