Thats the crazy part, until the last couple days it wasn't running that rich. Well I didn't think it was that rich. The Exhaust shop took care of me, they gave me a new cat under warranty, and re-ran my exhaust to get rid of a annoying knock and vibration I was getting while idling, or driving. Definitely good guys who stand behind their work.

OMG that's sex jesus.... I want my next Artech Mani to be like that ok?

Sure thing. Let me know when you're ready to upgrade ;)

Interested in a test pipe, can I get one with an O2 bung?

PM'd

I love my test pipe.

That mani looks awesome, I might have to start over and do one like that!

I'll be messaging you sometime for a TD04 manifold/downpipe :D (wrx turbo).

Thanks. This one is pretty interesting, too:

One day, I'd like to do a dyno shoot out comparing different manifold designs. I'm curious to see how much peak power and spool are affected with log/short tubular/equal length manifolds in a mild, 225hp-275hp setup. Maybe it'll happen by Spring.

wherestheboost, let me know when you're ready.

very nice!

omg you better make me one already I want one soon!! I'm shooting for <250 Since I finally got a job I can upgrade the miota even more!!!!

If you could do equal length and some swirl action (primaries arrange clockwise/counterclockwise in firing order...) I think that'd be the cake... but yeah, that's annoying to do. I like the last one you did - sweeet :D

Cut me those damn decals and I'll think about it :bigtu:

Wherestheboost, do you have a pic of such manifold? You mean separate pulse/twin scroll?

That last manifold isnt mine BTW. This is what I've been working on (had to show it off before shipping to the owner :)):

Damn I love your work....some day when I upgrade I'm giving you a call! Hope your still hangin around these parts by then and or still doing this type of work...;)

Man wow

I keep coming back to this thread and ogling that ramhorn manifold.

This is months down the road, but how possible would it be to make a tubular manifold to replace a BEGi 1.6 cast manifold? If it was made to fit the same setup, would it still flow better or would the improvement be marginal?

So wait...this is all mig? What's the thickness of the tubing you're using? ...and how big is your welder? Maybe there's hope for the little mig I have at home :D

Umm... as far as the separate twin/scroll thing - yeah, nothing that complicated. I just meant the order of the pipes as they entered the collector.

Let's say in this image...

From this view...going counter clockwise from the lower left... you'd have 1-4-3-2. But the firing order is... 1-3-4-2 (right? I forget). But anyways, what I meant was simply making the order in the collector match the firing order. The so called "swirl" from header design stuffs... that and equal length.

....I want to sell my greddy. Everything is lovely, just lovely. :bigtu:

All TIG baby.

I seriously wish My welds would come out that nice. Keep the pics coming!
