haha. yea. if you use sch40 stuff and heavy on the glue they should hold up!
dont forget to use primer.... i know a guy that didnt use it and he had exhaust leaks.
im going to give them a shout monday. the only people i know that can weld at a quality thats acceptable arent interested in helping me make a set of headers.
im not an experienced welder or i would have already done it myself.
they are going to be as high as giraffe p---y im afraid.

If you go mild steel mat'l and coat them (for a race car anyway) you'll save alot of $
Stainless is expensive period... street car with water and the heat cycling that they put on a header stainless is a beter choice, same with turbo stuff.
But a coated mild steel header can be a viable option.
If I were to build a tall deck motor, I'd need headers made. But, then I could have them built as a 2 piece header (2 primaries together, then the other 2 together so they go in the car as pieces, making them alot easier to install, and gives you larger primary options then you's have as a 1 pc header) with a slip on collector.
I've never really looked into it though

id really like the stainless.
the headers i have on the car now are almost 6 years old and they still look brand new.
price wise, mild is a wallet saver.
this company does do mild steel.
im seriously calling them tomorrow for a guestimate.
my headers are sold so i have to do something now.

Don't get me wrong there's stainless kooks 1 7/8 stepped to 2 inch on my car, and other then the color change from heat, they look exactly like they were new.
But.... if I get to the point where I have no choice but to do something (due to deck height or whatever) I won't spend the $ on stainless again, I'll just do a mild steel set and have them coated, along with the entire exhaust system at that point.

just got off the phone with tom at stainless headers.
he said a std v8 long tube setup with merge collectors will run between 1300-1700 dollars.
i was quoted around 1400 for stainless steel.
there is a 500 dollar deposit for the kit they send you, which is refunded upon return.
he mentioned that some designs may cost more depending on the labor of welding involved.
