so i’m thinking about making a set up for my truck, and going to 1-3/4" primaries. i have no problem with fabrication, however i dont have access to a tig welder so if i go stainless that would be an issue, and i don’t have a clue where to start as far as getting materials and such. for the people that have made their own headers, where did you go for the piping and flanges or did you make your own? thanks.

do they seem to be a pretty reputable place from your exp? i need to get collectors and some flanges and things. Does the quality of the material seem good?
