hi mate i personally think that if anything was gonna happen it would happen on the dyno that why we run the big bhp engine to make sure every component of the build is ok , but it did certainly get hot thats for sure but 321 stainless at a cost of £80 a metre to 304 which is £10 a metre then i will take that risk. the manifold is not totally finished yet and will have strenghting tags and bracing as well as the turbo hanger so hopfully there wont be that much stress on the manifold
cheers paul
p.s i think the only person i know that uses anything with a thicker walled pipe is nortech and your looking at least £1000+ , 3mm i think
