i have a **** load of mild steel and stainless steel bends here at the shop if you guys need any bends or straight pipes. They are left-overs from a bunch of different builds but they are in perfect shape and are not cut up in any way. PM me for more info, and sorry in advance for the 
On a side note i'd say use mild steel for budget street builds, its MUCH cheaper, easier to work with, and ive never had a problem with anything rusting on any of my cars(even though i live in Miami, FLwhere there is no salt). I'd use mild unless you abuse the life out of your car/setup, if you do i would grab stainless but i dont think anyone will be able to drive their car long or hard enough for a pipe to completely fall apart. Half the time most of us are under our cars little fixing problems anyways so there wont be much driving going on compared to a true daily driven "beater"-mobile

I would go stainless if you can weld it and your pockets handle it. IMO i would go 316 stainless because it is better with heating / cooling and remaining its strength compared to 304.
Let us know what you do.
Where in NY are you, i will do your stainless welds with a Tig...

header flanges Where did you find the 1/2" thick flanges with the openings sized for pipe? Columbia River only shows SBC flanges and they are out of stock.
