DIY Exhaust manifold "spanish style"
And here we go..
The good artist copies but the genius steals. Unfortunately I have no one near to steal his manifold so i decided to make my own.
Preparing a
flange for a manifold:
I haven't pics of how I do the exhaust ports on the flange, because plasma cut and digital camera are uncompatible.
T3 flange:
Ancient geometers were dreaming of squaring the circle. A couple of tons can do it.
almost finished:
and... done:
Bonus, how to make your own downpipe 3D design: attach the original exhaust manifold to a flat surface, make some marks, weld a flat piece of metal at the end of the exhaust manifold. Place the new manifold w/turbo in the marks. Start your downpipe building:
I hope you like it

I assumed it was deliberate to "show off" the turbo if not make it easier to run the piping.
There are some little nit-picky things that arent perfect, but it looks like a solid piece that is much better off than a eBay junk, plus the satisfaction of building it yourself. How much did you spend on it all? Nice job
