Its a expensive material, harder to work with, and you need to use special procedures and have to know your shit to prevent it from cracking in time. Stainless TIG welds should be back-purged with gas in addition to a good weld.

exactly.

people bitch about custom prices all the time. Try and build it yourself and see how your hard you worked on your shitty ass header that leaks and doesn’t fit very well… that pre-built piece looks more and more attractive.

the sheer fact that you posted this question means that if you try and build your own it will be a total POS.
