This is interesting. I was told from a composite expert that one could
fashion the shape of a complex manifold using sections of hotwired blue foam
initially appearing as a blue foam pipe.  The pipe is cut into setions and
glued together and sanded to shape.  The whole thing is coated with silcone
seal and layed up with glass.  disolve the foam with solvent and pull out
the silicone with pliers.  It is supposed to leave a smooth surface.  I Have
never done this but it could work.

There is water soluble, bakeable mold material out there you can get for not a lot of $$$.. You form it by hand. Dry it. Bake it. then make your layups around it. then wash the mold out down the sink. no solvents. Just water. I am looking in my email archives for the brand name.
