"Just finished this up yesterday then thrashed like a mad man to get if bolted up in time for the car to make the Hot Import Nights show yesterday.

Manifold is constructed from all 304 type stainless steel with huge 2" runners then polished for the bling factor. In the pictures below you can see the manifold it replaced.

The old one was by South Florida performance something or other and constructed from mild steel then coated. Said manifold was the second one on the car and I've repaired probably 10+ cracks (no joke) in both of them.

If any one with a DSM is interested in one of these polished or not just let me know. I made a jig so I can easily reproduce it. It's set up for a T3 flange but I can also accommodate a stock flange with my jig. wink.gif

Enjoy,

Brett"

Man, those pipes come together at really poor angles at the collector. They point towards each other instead of down into the turbo. That is going to hurt perfomance. It is pretty though! It should also be 321 stainless, not 304.

That is a very nice peice of work. Hope it holds together, no one can seem to make a good aminifold that will hold together without cracking eventually.

For a second I thought you made it and then I would be really impressed!

I like Shearer's manifolds. They use more curvature in the runners to get a smooth transition into the collector. Plus the wastegate comes off the full collector instead of runners 1 and 4 as on the one in the pictures. Now if I could just afford one.

Steve do you have a link to a good picture showing this? I can't seem to find a picture on Shearer's website showing a real good angle of his wastegate position.

304SS? So it should crack just as much as the mild steel SFP manifold. Aren't 2" runners a bit of overkill?
