I think the 4-1 collector by itself is better than mine, but in order to fit it you have to do all the other "roller coaster" pipes. I still don't think that collector combined with the required primaries will work as well as what I do for the applications the majority of we miata people use our car for.
I do not do anything to the inside of my collector in terms of smoothing/polishing/sanding, whatever.
I did REM polish Sav's SS manifold though.

A'ite, whatever. that's a bit much.
I got the mid$800's figure from the first mani I found on their site, the $842.19 "FG K Series ProStreet T3/44 Turbo Manifold".
Don't forget those 19 cents people.
But damn, their RX7 manifold is $1299...wow. It is pretty.

Free for me.
It didn't do much on Sav's as I only had the time to stick it in the finish chemistry. Sorta made it a little more shiny. If I had the time, it should go thru the entire tumble/deburr & vibratory machines, etc. Next time.
We also have a couple shot peening machines here but I don't want that crap in the nooks/cranies of a turbo manifold :(

I already explained one way to make it.
EDIT:
EDIT:
8... Or if you want to DIY, the straight cut that goes into making a 4-1 collector is significantly easier cause it's made on a straight pipe. ****, you could print out a paper template if you have a halfway decent CAD program, wrap it around the pipe & draw a line with a sharpie, then go to town with your band saw or cutoff wheel. Simple. Quick. Easy. If you screw up following your line, not a big deal. Sand flat with a belt sander. You're making the bends of the primaries mate up to the collector, so the angles don't need to be dead-nuts.
