Hi guys,

Has anyone went around making there own exhaust manifold for a busa mini im just trying to keep costs down and was wondering is it possible to make your own using an original manifold baring in mind i have the new frame where the pipes have to go around the side of the engine. any help will be great.

Thank Alan

Stainless steel or titanium is the usual materials, both can be welded with a tig and the correct rods and gas, not really a home option for most people. There is nothing stopping you from making a exhaust manifold from mild steel or low grade stainless and weld it with a mig

How much would you be willing to spend?
We have a used manifold at Zcars but its ceramic coated so looking for at least £450. (In very good condition)
Can send you pictures if your interested.

Yes stainless 4-2-1 ceramic coated.

Let me know if you want a picture.
