Re: where to buy header to head flange, custom headers You can actually buy LS1 flanges from GM performance parts, call Scroggin Dickey for the part numbers, i think they were like 30 bucks a set.

Re: where to buy header to head flange, custom headers Chris, i hope that's a typo, and you mean 25 a set, cause you got robbed, even to get them cnc machined custom, they wouldn't cost you 250.

This is stainless steel. $250 seems a tad high, but then again, I dunno how readily available Flanges are for LS1s and someone has to pay for the R&D.
Take a look at 304SS Flanges here for $95:

Add a few bucks more for 321 like Chris got.

Re: where to buy header to head flange, custom headers OK, my bad, i brain farted, and didn't see the stainless spot, but i don't know why you would be so set on buying stainless flanges, we don't use them, and neither does a local guy at PF&E, and all he does is custom headers and exhaust, i only think he uses stainless at the customers request, as you really don't need stainless flanges, and they are much harder, so if they warp, or are in any way untrue, sealing will be a bitch, we just use mild steel cnc'd flanges on all our turbo headers, and they are then ceramic coated for appearance and rustproofing.
