> It would depend on what size primaries and collector you want. He only uses T304 for flange and all, so it definitely wouldn’t be cheap compared to those mild steel pieces. I could look into what his price would be for ya; though, on one that wasn’t just a first-build/test-piece…
yea, i can get a header flange for pretty cheap and send it wherever…would the car have to be out there at the shop? or could i send the flange and my current header out?
