Default LSx header flanges?

I hope this is the right place- anybody know of a good source for stainless LSx header flanges and stainless tubing? I have been torn between keeping my Procharger or going turbo and am now kicking around just fabbing up a turbo kit (05 GTO). The fab work isn't a problem for me, but I just need a source for the materials. Thanks!

I am also curious as to where you guys get your flanges. I think Burns Stainless sells them.

I found a couple of sources for mild steel so far, I'll check out Burns. Thanks!

I am also wondering if coated mild will suffice (used it in the past with good luck) or if I should just go stainless and be done. Chances are the setup would not be on the car for much more than a couple of years, so I think either will hold up as long as I'd need it to.

I was kind of thinking that too- shouldn't have to worry about it distoring over time .
