I've thought of that too... I need to find me a real cheap set somewhere... it might be stronger too cuz thats the manifold that'll hold most of the turbo weight, although I think im gonna make a brace for it too.

I welded a v-band flange on my manifold as well, but have not service tested it yet. I made the flange the same thickness as the mainifold. I did about the same as everyone else did. Beveled the edge, preheated with a map gas torch, tig welded with a 309 rod, and let it cool slowly.

I was just looking at making some changes to my hot pipes and looked for the shorties as well. Cheapest I could find was at Summit for $200. All the ebay ones are stainless.

Thanks. Kyle (KBRacing) deserves all the credit though. He did the hot pipes for me. I just did the stock manifold.

this, these manifolds are made from alot better material than old school mainfolds. guys have decent sucess with just grinding down a V and using a MIG.
