My coupe used to run a home made mainfold on a A15. Long runners. So long that the dude who made it belted the shock tower with a hammer to create more room for the carbs! Was a really fast setup.

mate i say go for it! the only things i would consider is the base plate that bolts to the head. i would use a 12mm plate then once you,ve finished it get it milled back to 10 0r 11mm to make sure the mating surface is flat and not bowed or welds might crack seen that happen to many times on cheap turbo manifolds. and the second thing would be the grade of ally you use cheers wayne

if your going to make it from aluminium then i hope you have experience with it!
things to consider would be tube length; short = power in high revs, longer = power in lower revs.
the next thing to consider is why?
can you not buy an intake to suit your setup?
