tubular manifold

[turbolarry]

Everyone is going to have there opinions. Whatever.
If your going to do it, do it right. Make sure who ever you use knows what there doing. Make sure they use nothing less than 321 stainless. If they don't or recommend something else, they don't know what there doing and need to stick to making N/A headers and not turbo manifolds. Please contact these people;

They can build what you want, with the flanges you want, do it right, and I've seen what they do in person. They are works of art and the welds are second to none. Now then, can I bounce an idea off you?

Iconel?

Whats wrong with using 8 guage 304 stainless steel for a turbo manifold?

As for the inconel all I have to say is $$$.

As for the inconel... :laugh: I'd just love to see it done. :laugh:

O WELL WASTE YOUR MONEY AWAY I DONT CARE

you seem to be getting awefully emotional for not caring.

tubular manifolds are mainly for looks i would say. but the sure do look cool

 

[GRNDSM]

They might look “cool” but there is nothing “cool” about them. Have ever opened a hood of a header equipped car when it is > 90 deg outside? It is NOT pleasant! To make headers livable, they really should be wrapped. And once you do that you end up with something that looks like crap! So do not do this for looks!

Also, wrapping the header will greatly increase its thermal load and make it even more likely to crack…

IMHO, headers are only appropriate for rarely driven race cars.

 

[Tallen]

You could probably rig up a heatshield quite easily..

 

[gritsak]

to anyone that doubts that ability for a good equal length header to out-perform a log style manifold check this thread out. not a dsm obviously but that is really besides the point.

I dont think many argue about the gain from a tubular header, because theyre are gains. But the question is, is it really worth a damn? In most cases, not by far. But also, those log style manifolds are total junk IMO, i dont think the increase in power would be quite that much on a dnp vs ported 2g or evo manifold.

the hot strength of 304 is less than that of 321. 321 was developed specifically for aircraft headers to alieviate problems from cracking.
the problems with all of these headers is that they're designed to fit in the enginge bay not to perform. look how long the headers are that marco is building:

sneaky sneaky looky what ebay has


http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7932725972&category=33632

thought it was a ssauto mani manifold.

 

[anconover]

If someone told u thats same as DNP, ill correct them... its not ha :laugh:

 

[na90dsm]

its the dude that started this thread. says its his


do those manifolds really crack. how far can you go before it cracks. i was lookin at getitn oen within the next few weeks because i dont have the loot for a cast mani or a tubular manifold thats made liek serious style

 

[1fast97gsx]

I thought the SS don't have the wastegate flange? Maybe I just got told wrong? How else can I tell the difference?
