12" divided by 3.14 (pie) = 3.82"
so.... you need to have a 3.82" round pipe (that you would heat & form to a square to fit flange)

if your using 2.5" pipes from manifold..that equals 5" pipe, you need to cut wedge of each pipe to merge them togetherforming a 3.82" pipe.
so doing math again you would need to take off a 1.88 linear inches off each pipe at which ever angle the 2 pipes are merging together.

tip: always best to build merge first and work your way back towards manifolds with pipping

ya know i was just going to heat and form it into a square but i figured that was not how it should be done lol doesnt seem to hard anymore

and thanks for the offer but i already got all my stuff lol


so now plan is like this

1. make t4 merge
2. make the v-band connections for the manifolds
3. connect them
