So he also proved my point.
Friction welding is great and all, but how many of us are going to friction weld exhaust tubing together? Or friction weld anything for that matter.
As he said, "there just not weldable together". In my picture i did the exact same thing he did with the 308l stainless filler on 304l tubing to the titanium plate. On the other side of the small plate was 316l plate steel, that did not crack but the stress sounds it made after i was done welding told me i would not hold up under any type of test, even if i couldn't get it to crack. I did end up breaking it off once i put the vice grips on it and bent it off.
Mine actually held better than Mr.Tigs did, i had to hammer on it with a clamp a few times before the crack formed. You can see the hit marks on the round part in my picture.

Well, the internet doesn't have much information on it. If i find some concrete at work tomorrow i'll do it in the name of science.
I know i have sand, so i can always use that too.
My version of a diy custom manifold, obviously still work in progress. Runner length is something i still thinking about So that pic on the bottom is what it could like, but it could change a little
First test fitment seems to be alright. Plenty of space left, now i have some realworld dimension to make the plenum. But i think my computer model fits perfectly in there
For the velocity stacks i tried some 3D printing and turned out pretty good, very stiff part. The inner part is so i can mount it on a drill and shave the part to a smooth finish
