This is my Home built Log manifold.

Uncoated and built for less than 300 bucks
of course all the labor is mine except for the welding

All tig welded.

The SR flange was from Hotshots 60 shipped
the High carbon Elbows and Tees are from McMaster about 50 bucks
The t-3 flange and Wastegate flange from Road Race 30 bucks
Welding about 100 bucks
Countless hours of grinding and cutting and Shaping priceless.

So The moral of my story kids....don't try this at home and just buy the Fmax.....

Oh don't get me wrong this will work great but it's just not worth the trouble. fro 200 bucks.

How did you get the angle the turbo sits at, its a pretty tight fit if you got a t3/t4. If you are off a tiny bit, GOD DAMMMMMMMMIIT, will be heard for blocks. Looks damn good though

I had everything but the flange on and used my turbo to get the proper fitment its really close to the fan shroud and will probably hit it when the engine moves. but i might just cut the shroud. or get a slim fan for that side...I already have one for the Downpipe to fit.
