Default Log style turbo exhaust manifolds?
I've serched for days with no luck so here gos - What type of material/tubing are you guys using to build log style turbo exhaust manifolds? I've used sched 40 black pipe fittings on diesel apps but the manifolds I'm seeing on this sight look lighter than that. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is what I build, have sold many of them. It's secd 40 steel pipe and weldels. Holds up quite well.

Secd 10 is .120 wall
Secd 40 is .203 wall
