Respect to those peeps who make tubular exhaust mani's - they are a huge amount of time to do.
Yes this is a 1st off/probably one off, and the iterations to get pipes to clear the k04 turbo are a massive PIA... and time consumer.
anyhows.. Its bigger bore than OE, consistent bore through the runners, and a combination of 1.25" and 1.5" sch10 - 316L pipe fittings. Runners in 1.25" sch10, collector & joiner to #3 & #4cyl in 1.5" sch10.
Phew.. had enough of weldinh stuff for a while..
plenty of metal splinters embedded in my hands and fingers.. doh!
the plot thickens
