Default here's my locally built MANIFOLD!!!!

ok guys, well its a long story, got my 18tm with a revo manifold, which was supposed to be for my t-maxx, since i live in sri lanka too bad i couldnt just go return the thing or buy a manifold,

anyway i managed to get 1 made for me, just want you guys to have a look and c what you think??

i got the connecting piece to the engine done on a lathe and the pipe is copper pipe bended and twisted to get the proper shape as the original t-maxx manifold

here are the pics, is it ok to run my new 18tm with this???

That should work fine. Use a good silicone coupler so the exhaust stays together tight.

yup i checked it up, and did a little test with the exhaust on it, hooked up nice and tight, probably put some zip ties and lock it up together, my old coupler seems to be ok so it hopefully works well,

lets hope this one can make it more louder

I doubt you use Flux on brazing copper. Flux is mainly used for Solder which metls well below the temperatures of the exhaust coming out of the engine. The person who made that appears to have Brass or Bronze Brazed the copper pieces together.

not exactly the nicest looking manifold out there but it should get the job done.
