When the Caterham F1 team were searching down the back of the sofa trying to fund themselves to the end of, what would be, their last season, I bought one of their old exhaust manifolds. It's very lovely, beautifully welded, titanium and I would like to turn it into something, much like WCA does, that can be displayed in polite company, not just stored in a box in my parents loft.
I had thought of some sort of table, but the shape of it means it would literally just have to be attached to a table some how, not an integral part of it.
What do we think of putting LEDs in it and having it as a lamp either the way up below or a tall lamp (perpendicular to how it is in the pic?

or something I haven't thought of?
Use it as a massive bong?

Mount it so the bit on the left stick upward, mount an old fashioned bulb holder in it.
Put on of these on. job done.

Not a smoker, but I'd have to [s]second[/s] third the bong idea.
It's Inconel and not Titanium.
You know how we all end up building a bike once we've got one random part kicking about (a hub, seatpost, bottle cage etc)?
Well I think you should build an F1 car 🙂
Beard with a pair of flip flops and youve got a second income on your hands..
Sell it to Honda, could be an improvement 🙂
Could you [s]shove [/s] mount some of those very 70s fibre optic lamps into each hole and the have a slightly HR Geiger-esque illuminated sculpture?

Speakers and alexa or chromecast
Extractor for the hob?
Mini chimney for a wood-fired pizza oven for maximum STWness.
Some ideas here...

Shower head
Garden fountain
I like finbar's idea. Seems apt for an exhaust.
I think it would probably make a rubbish chimney.
Normally quite good at this but really struggling. It would make a great hamster run. Or screw it to the wall through the cylinder face plates with the exit pipe bit vertical. Seal it and use it as a flower vase in some sort of ironic twist on its previous use. Or mount it to the wall in the same way mount a light in base facing upwards; get a tube of glass made up the same diameter and an fish tank air pump bubbling gently (and maybe some tiny fish).
We have this in one of our offices...
