Its all a 'work in progress'. I have a number of interesting 'winter projects' under way. When I get a better idea on the pricing I will post some more info.

One question I have for the folks that are interested in the header project – How much is the stainless worth to you? Its interesting that most folks on the list seem to want full stainless headers and exhaust. Yes, its better than mild steel – but mild steel with a coating will last quite a while. I have a ‘cheapie’ mild steel test pipe that has been on a car for 10 years. Lots of track duty and driven in the rain. Its still in good shape. The cost of a mild steel header is easily 40% less than a stainless header. Same is true with the exhaust systems.

Let me know what you are thinking!

I'd be down for a coated mild steel set-up.

Seems like the cats out of the bag now...

Mild steel is fine to keep the costs down...

Thanks!

I'd buy a set. Prefer and would pay up for SS but would still go for mild steel if only it was the only option.

Interested in SS or mild steel but I don't mind paying extra to get an uncrackable exhaust and don't have to do the job again in a few years/months.
