I was toying with the idea of making up a inlet manifold.Ive never made one before it would be a project I was thinking of making a drawing up and going from there,i would be limited to what metal I used though like stainless or mild steel.Has anyone ever made one out of this type of metal or no anybody that's done it?

You could still do that out of steel, there was 4 parts that made up mine. The flange was laser cut out of 12mm. Then the oval part in the middle was laser cut out of about 50mm thickness, then the end plate which we made out of 2 mfi cricket bat inlets. Then the tube slit and curved round. Sounds easy but alot of man hours. All in all it probably cost around £150 to make.
