That's exactly what I did with my manifold plenum.  The tubes extend into
the plenum with "bell" (trumpet) shaped attachments inside the plenum.
Sorry I didn't take any picture of the inside.  It was made from 1/8
aluminum sheet with simple tools, then taken to the welder.  It also made a
nice attachment point for the blow off valve and temperature sensors.

Sorry, I didn't mean to send the photo until I have permission from the
person who made the manifold.  If he gives me the go ahead, I will send
more information.  It's aluminum.
