I know a guy here in CT that can build them, if you can't find anyone locally or a sponsor that can do it.

If you can live with mild steel and have them coated (which is what I would do... the coatings today hold up really well, headers are actually lighter if that matters and you can always recoat them if the need arises) I think it would probably be roughly 1/2 that.

I would only consider stainless when spending that kind of coin on headers...takes a little bit longer and will cost a tad bit more but will last forever

Talked to the guys at stainlessheaders.com and there at 1700.00 they send you a kit to make pvc headers and you send it back to them and they go off that, not a bad idea
