Just did a manifold for my brother. He is building an xf as a run around. Pics below. As you can see, the last runner isnt on the manifold. It is made, just have to tack it on and then tig the whole thing.
I'm boosting my ED Falcon. Will be up and running by May. There's a lot of opinions out there about what you should and shouldn't do, how much it will cost and so on. For anyone doing this mod, research as much as possible before hand. I've found so far that the installation process is pretty important, don't do it yourself if your not confident, pay a professional and get it done right the first time. I'm documenting the whole process from start to finish, cost, what's involved etc so for the new players out there like myself, you have some experience first hand to guide you thru the whole process, and a list of people that helped me thru the project. I'll keep the forum posted.
