Dr. Gas is widely used in Nascar...... nuff said. His prices are a little high but you get what you pay for.

I'm using their X-pipe, a 3" frame clearance tube, a couple of ball flanges, and a pair of turndowns in my true dual setup. I was very pleased with the quality and the service that I got from them. IMO Dr Gas and Burns Stainless are both top notch suppliers of exhaust bits.

Dr. Gas is the best x-pipe on the market. IMO.

That oval stuff looks like it might be the answer for big y pipes and over the axle true duals, but it would get real pricey! The inconel is about as high tech as one could get (it is aerospace/F1 standard equipment). I guess they have you call for prices on that so they can break it to you slowly and not give you a coronary!! I once heard a set of headers made of that **** were $10,000.00

well looking at the bends on the oval stuff, it bends across the short edge. If they did it in aluminized or something cheap, that would be good. I might email them and see if then can bend it over the short edge...

The inconel (how the hell do you say that?) is, from what i've gathered, hard as hell to work with, but the **** for turbo manifolds/headers.

I've used their X's exclusively for 4 years now on about 400+ systems. Best made IMO.

In - con - el.

Its actually not that hard to work with while welding..... as it "fusion" welds very nicely without filler. Not quite like hastex (hastelloy), but welds like a dream...... it is however, a little (understated) hard on tooling and cutters.

And yes, inconel headers are a little pricy. The $10k is about the median price but sets start at or around $7k. Hell 321 stainless is expensive as a **** for the same application. Even a set of 304 stainless, try-y - stepped - merge headers run about $2.6k for a one off set.
