Stainless Steel Exhuast Manifolds

[RBJETT]

Hey,

was just wondering if anyone knew of any places that could face my stainless steel exhuast manifolds. ive rang a few places and they tell me they can only do cast iron.

Need it done pretty soon aswell.

Any help is appricated.

Exhaust technology faced mine.

Better to run potted stockies though

Looks like mine are twisted

How good are ported stockys compared to a custom steam pipe manifold

Got a stocky pair on the way who can port it and heat proof coat it

the porting you can do yourself if you have a die grinder. As for the coating i'm just about to call these guys (which are the guys who developed the Ceramic Coating Process).

If you really get stuck on the porting let me know.

cheers mate, ill give it a crack. for 100 bucks for a pair of exhuast manifolds it would be silly to not try it

[D_Stirls]

yeah which would be about what i would charge.

Just use a gasket as a template and away you go.

[RBJETT]

ive got a set of genuine gaskets ready for it.

would it be safe to assume that the ports on the manifold would be the same size as the ports on the manifold anyway?

i ment i paid 100 bucks for the manifolds lol

[D_Stirls]

The 26 ports between the manifold and turbo are smaller, yo uwill see when you look at them that the manifold will have only 1/2 to 2/3's open. That is what you are porting. I wouldn't touch the manifold the head ports, but you can give them a touch up if you want; but the main reason why people port the 26 manifold is due to the turbo port size.

That is what i mean about using the gasket as a template, line the turbo gasket up with the port, etch the inside port shape on the manifold and then cut loose with the die grinder.

Cool ill give it a crack
