I am tired of people wining about not being able to build intake manifolds

Chime in if you want one so I know how many to make up.

Paul,
I'll take one, please. I was beginning to be concerned about having to make
this kind of stuff myself. I have a '93 13B being reconditioned by Rotec
right now. It's a 6 port. Right Buly? Any idea what the price will come out
at?

How about making a bunch of exhaust systems too! I, for one, would be happy
to pay a reasonable fee for quality intake and exhaust work since I don't
have the skills or equipment to do it myself.

No idea on the price yet until I get some quotes for the flanges.
I think the exhaust system varies a lot more than the intake.
My intake design can be used with a turbo or a NA engine.

BTW Art Luther in Lakeland does nice work. Bill Hughes had him 
do his exhaust and intake.

Yes, I do know someone who can fabricate Inconel exhaust manifolds
reasonably for Mazda's. His name is Mark Sedickas who owns Mark's Welding
and Fab in Graham, WA  Days-253-852-0540, evenings 360-893-5528. pager

Mark did my exhaust manifold (turbo 20B) for about $300 (it was p/o a lot
of other work). He gets scrap cuttings of inconel sheets from a local
source, and then he rolls it (min 2.5" dia) to make manifolds and mufflers.
Dave Atkins sends him a lot of work. He is a certified Aircraft welder and
does beautiful work.
