Getting a quote for some oval tubing for the intermediate ports.
right now it will be just straight oval tubing in lengths of 6ft
the oval is custom extruded for the inner ports. Material is 6061 with a .065
wall. the tubing can be mandrel bent into a round any thoughts for the bend
profile? I initially will bend it at a 3":in
radius but the idea is to keep the manifold as alow a profile as possible like
Mistral has done.

Have you seen DR Gas?

click on the oval tubing catalouge this is an idea of what can be done. with
oval tubing.

To work well the oval cross sectional area must be the same as the round area.
Merely flattening a round tube won't work for an intake manifold.

Tony,

I couldn't find a reference to material they offer but it appears these are  for exhaust systems and as such is a good find.  Thanks
