Question for DIY manifold people
I know this is a real dumb question, and i know its not something that a professional welder would approve of, and i know due to differant heat properties this is not smart buttttttt....
Has anyone ever used stainless steel weld elbows to make a log style manifold, then welded it to a mild steel flange? and if so did it work?
Thanx

Ok, i gave up on the SS to mild steal idea and decided to just order new weld ells, and make my own tee's whitch i accomplished today.. I also cut the pipes off of the stock manifold so that i could use the flange on mine.
My question is, i need to grind out the ports in the manifold flange to make them a bit bigger, basically to remove the factory welds, what is the best method to doing this. I am guessing some special bit on my drimmel, but im not sure what bit will give me the best bang for my buck, i know those things are expensive.. any ideas?
