Pipe thinkness for inlet manifold.
Morning chaps,
What thickness of pipe is best to use for a bike carb manifold? Will exhaust pipe thickness do or thicker? Pipes will be about 2 inch long.

Thicker stuff will be easier to weld.

Ideally, the ID will match the port diameter and the OD will match the rubbers that hold the carbs.

I made my one for my zetec using alloy scaffold tube, its 50 OD by 40 Id and squashes to just the right size for the port.I had to turn a section down
for the connecting pipes to fit.
I also made a steel manifold for my crossflow and that was made from 38mm exhaust tube and 10mm steel plate. I have seen a number of manifolds made
from stainless tube about 1.5mm with a 5 or 6mm flange so lots of options depending on how you intend welding it.
