Thanks for being so helpful

Is he using 304? Just figured I'd ask. I've read that thinner 304 has a tendency to crack under repeated heat cycling. Which is what led me to the schedule ten stuff. If 16 gauge is fine though, that's a relief on my wallet I suppose. And the manifolds are for a vh45de. It's a 4.5 liter dohc v8...

For starters, that's some damn good looking work. The size of the pipe here isn't really the issue though. It's the port shape The port is oval the pipe is circle. I'm just wondering if the pipe can be squished into an oval like people have always done with tubing in this same situation

Hello. I'm an aerospace welder and fabricator in the middle of building a car. I'm coming up to the manifolds soon. I've built headers before but not turbo manifolds. I'm using schedule ten pipe as opposed to tubing since the thicker material resists cracking better under repeated heat cycles...
