True. But I do remember in-progress photos.

And, I'm not as old as you, so my Alzheimers isn't as bad.

This was last summer, IIRC.

Folks race lawnmowers and grain combines - racing Yugos does NOT make them sports cars!

It probably cracked after 2hrs of use - he never got a chance to take pictures

We're redoing another manifold.

First one didn't fare too well, my buddy didn't use pure stainless. So yeah, another one, this time in 304, and it'll be braced and ceramic coated.

So mixing mild and stainless steel is bad? Who knew? Oh wait,....

those eBay "RS2" tube headers have a mild steel flange and some (unknown number) stainless runners. Some how that just doesn't work well. Who knew? Amazing.

But don't let that stop you from contradicting me Emre.

Re: Its not a clone. I never said it was. The eBay ads call it "RS2" not me. And I can't wait to ..

You want a real tubular manifold check out Saridea they have one and it works well. Also using 304 stainless for the manifold is just asking for problems.
