tubular manifold?

[goonie]

hi guys
planning on making a tubular exhoust mannifold my self
what i would like to know is what size of wall thickness is used for the tubular mannifolds
i was thinking of using 2 inch ss bends(304) with a wall thickness of 2 millimeters
can some one tell me if this size will be correct?
thanks

8 gauge

oke 8 gauge but can you or anyone translate this in millimeters because as you can see i am located in the netherlands here we do not use inches but european sizes(meters)
so how many millimeters would 8 gauge be?
thanks.

I was told that most manifolds were made with 1.25" piping?

one site I went to had different conversion rates for different types of materials....then anther had a flat conversion rate listing 8 gauge at 3.263 millimeters.

Just a little something...
Use 321ss. It's more resistant cracking.
