Chris,
Those inside pieces were loose and thin. I don't know what kind of SS they
were made of, but they would be light if they will hold up. Please put a
picture on the list. I,for one, would like to see it. Bill B

Chris,
That is the approach I took for my Renesis. I spent the time to cut away
the outer shell from the stock manifold, leaving only the inside pieces.
Then I welded the two pieces together. None of my pictures show it very
well, so I'll have to take a new one if you need it.

Chris,
If I remember correctly you have a Renesis. If so, the stock manifold can
easily be cut down and used. It's a little heavy but you don't have to worry
about it holding up. I may try a lighter manifold in the future. But for now
it's one less thing to worry about during the first 100 hrs. The stock
manifold can be had for under $100 but may take some looking. It also has a
good heat shield that can be partly used. At least three folks on this list
have taken this approach. Here's one on Ebay with no reserve and no bids. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/RX8-Exhaust-Manifold-and-O2-sensor-No-Res

Hi Al,
I agree, but don't have much experience with these kinds of metal and how
much they weigh. I suspected that if I asked about the high side, someone
would reply that I didn't need that much and make a good recommendation. I
do greatly appreciate the insight :-)
Best regards,
Chris

with, and I found some notes about using SS handrail tubing, approximately 0.12" in wall thickness. If one were to build matching muffler components to attach to those tubes, would 0.12" be sufficient

Chris;
You're building an airplane. Weight matters. .035 inconel is good.
