My cousin, a machinist, is forming up a 'tent' such as ftl made only he's using sheet aluminum... then making two end pieces (he hopes to contour them to fit the inside of the manifold better) he plans on welding onto the ends of the main 'tent'. Then he plans on cutting the bottom out and then welding the new 'hollow' diverter into the bottom of the manifold.
These are the initial plans, formed with the basis that cutting out the block of aluminum such as ftl did is much more time consuming than forming a diverter with sheet aluminum, making the latter not only quicker but more cost effective hopefully and possibly easier to produce in larger quantities as well.
I'll keep you posted on how it turns out, will be awhile as he's 3 states away and the manifold will have to make a round trip to him to be finished.
