There's a lot of things that go into a exhaust manifold, just like a down pipe. A lot of details are needed for clearances, including the turbo size, position, and other items in the engine bay like the radiator, fan, a/c and power steering. Not only does the manifold make everything else work together, you have to make the manifold with 100% precision. Failure to measure things correctly, gap the joints correctly, and even weld the piping with the correct heat, could mean a cracked manifold within weeks. Here is the first manifold I made. For a local friend and his accord, i started off with basic measurements and didn't realize what a pain it would be to make until later. After a few trial and errors, i got the manifold to where it needed to be. It was made to bolt up to a Saab T-series turbo manufactured by Garrett.
Here's the second manifold I made. I made this one for my personal use on my civic. I fabricated the manifold (what we call a Log manifold) to use a DSM turbo (in this case, a T25). Originally I made the manifold to use the internal gate of the turbo. Later, I added the external waste gate (Tial) to control boost more accurately.
