Measurements. I use Solidworks for the modelling which could import files from another modelling software if needed. I was going to try not to bring in other peoples manifolds in a public view because for some reason I could see a little fire start if I start doing that but I may decide to do so anyways.

With the CFD software you can make every measurement at any space in the manifold (Pressure, Pressure drop, Velocity, Mach #, mass airflow, temperature, force, etc). You can also enter in how well the exterior will withstand high pressures, dissipate heat, etc...

I can also use my CFD modelling to create 3D samples from a plastic and use the plastic to create molds which makes it pretty easy to get them made. Using that I can easily make most any custom part I want. Currently I am thinking of starting with the intake manifolds, then move on to exhaust manifolds, 02 housings, custom hubs (Probably just for DSMs), possibly control arms for DSMs, etc....
