Yup got a Ram 1500, 5.7 Hemi. Manifolds need this done to them. Well I replaced the passenger side with a brand new one, so it'll be warping soon I'm sure. Driver side Id like to have this done to it, instead of having to keep buying these manifolds that are just gonna warp again. How much would you, or do you charge for this? What's your price per manifold? I know of a few machine shops near me, & what would be a good guesstimate price wise? Thanks, & good job on the manifolds!
Thanks for watching & subscribing. I charge $60 per manifold to belt sand, or $100/hr if it has to go on the mill. Usually do at least 2 pair per week. Haven't heard of any needing redone in over 5 years, so it must be working.
Hang long pipe so surface will lay flat on surface of belt sander. Entire manifold must be flat on belt sander. Smaller belt sander may not achieve what you want. Thanks for watching and commenting. Hope you subscribed.
Todd - Your belt sander Technique is by far the fastest and the best. It doesn't add any stress to the manifold and leaves all surfaces on the same plane. Your explanation was excellent . Two Thumbs Up -- Jim

on my ford 460 exhaust manifold I used sandpaper glued over a 12x36 1/2 in glass plate. it took hours but had same result as your 5 min job.

Thank you, I wish I would have learned about this years ago. Been through so many snapped bolt heads on my dodge hemi.

How do you do a Subaru with a long pipe integrated into the manifold ? Smaller hand held Craftsman belt sander ?

That is a beast of a belt sander there.
Thanks Tom and Merry Christmas

Thanks Jim and Happy New Year!
I have never viewed a belt sander in action repairing exhaust manifolds. Interesting. Keep up the good work👍.
