Nearly done lad's, what do you reckon, any good?
It's made from 5mm wall steam-pipe.
Many nights with the tig, and grinders LOL

Not a bad job mate!
Steam pipe is definitely the way to go,
Could ease up on the power a bit though to avoid those undercuts.

Undercuts?
If you mean the welds, they are done without any filler rod on the first pass and then they get a second pass to fill them up!
That way i got good penetration rofl

Ive seen manifolds like that with a small cut from each bolt hole to allow for expansion. Not sure if it's good or bad, just something I've noticed.
Top work so far though... :beer
