Default custom built headers ?

Anyone know of a shop that can custom build headers? Looking for 1-3/4 or 1-7/8 for my ls1 miata.

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.

Thats why when they where one of the few building custom Mustang turbo headers back in the late 90's we called them Krooks.

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
