I think with your skills you should try to do your own manifolds. One of my suppliers TIG welds his own manifolds from stainless sections and they look like a work of art. You can do exactly what you want that way and take your time to get it just right.
Go for it Matt. Plus this way you have the option of doing some exhaust tuning if you feel the inclination.

Coming along very nicely Matt.
When do you expect a trial run.

Long time away. Going to do the gear linkage next, that'll be interesting since I need to reverse the throw of the rods compared to what's currently installed.
