I just looked at other header designs and started laying out the pipe. I have seen people layout a design using pvc elbows before building them in stainless. All trial and error, and lots of patience.

Much respect. Wish I had your patience at 17 and welding skills. Also a little jealous of the shop you have. wish I had that many tools at my disposal to use on my truck

.............. ! ! !

And so you should be.

Those are right up in my collection of welding and fabrication porn.

They could come to dinner with me and I would be proud.

I actually re-read this thread just to enjoy your work again.

Keep it up man. Your skill level is fantastic for your age. I'm 22 building trucks and wish I had half the fab skills you do. Those manifolds are super clean.
