again in case they don't fit the first try.

Well that's just it, there will be no more Fit and Fiddling, it's just an oval tube that is allready the correct shape and size. I can fit and fiddle with the best of them but time is my concern, as things in my life progress, I'm realizing I have less and less of it.  The manifold isn't going to cost $3000 that's how much the first one will cost as I have to buy a minimum of 300lbs of oval extrusion and( tooling costs) and then I have to have the tube bent to my specs. I'm going to try to keep the manifold under $400 which I think is reasonable considering Mistral is charging $2100 for theirs. I really think there is a need for this tubing. I can sell it by the foot as well.
