So I'm planning on welding up some bits of my manifold, and I found these guys: 90 Degree Black Steel Elbow
According to their helpful chat people, they're schedule 40. Is that the wrong metal to make a manifold out of? I'd go with stainless, but I can't back purge, and I've never done SS before (I hear she's fickle).
On a side note, is 1 1/4 big enough for an SR20 T25? I used a calculator a while back and found that the elbows flow more than the head (under flow bench conditions), so in theory I should be fine, right?

My only worry is that I'm using schedule 40 while these might be for sch 10. I doubt a little porting on the inside wall will hurt anything

I actually shot him an email already after I saw someone here get a premium flange that looked really nice. Seems like a small operation he has going on, and I like supporting small business, but I found this: Exhaust Head Flange - Mazda - Mazda Miata 1.6 Exhaust Head Flange and now I hear they don't fit...
