This s*** is about to become reality. Just got the call from him, and he is staying afterhours to begin fab AND FINISH the manifold. I will have progress pics up tonight, hopefully not too late, but there will definitely be a manifold to see in the morning. If I can update on the fly, I will. Stay tuned kiddies!

A little set back tonight, the supplier of the mandrel bent pipes is out of Portland Oregon, and they shipped the wrong size pipes, and the correct pipes should be in tomorrow. Also talked to my fab guy, Bob, about making more and selling them here. We think $275 a piece is a fair price, to cover cost, labor, and shipping. To give you an idea of what the finshed product will look like, think of a cross between the stock, Thunder and MAM exhaust manifolds. The finished product will be sick. Here are the pics of the progress from tonight, can't go any further since we don't have the correct sized pipes.
All welds are hand welded, and the pipes will be port matched. Pending the arrival of the pipes tomorrow, I should have pics of the finished product by tomorrow night.

It looks wierd now, just you wait. Another hangup this morning. The people who are bending the pipes can't take orders very well. There was an initial order for pipes, but Bob deemed them too large for proper airflow. He then reordered them and they were larger than the first order. So he reordered a new set of bends this morning after recieving two orders of pipes that won't work. The slated completion date is for this coming Monday. The pipes are on a truck right now from California, and just might be here earlier than Monday.
As always, I will keep rolling updates if anything new happens.

Today or tomorrow I will have more info and updates. Still waiting on the pipes to get here, but the whole project is coming to a close, and my fab guy Bob already has a request for another manifold to be made up for the GT28rs turbo I installed yesterday on my buddies MSP.
