There are other reasons people use SS over MS for a turbo mani… It has useful advatages over MS. It’s a cleaner metal which equals a cleaner and more complete weld. It won’t rust if welded properly and on the the grade of SS. It’s stronger. I believe it has better disipation (not 100% sure). Along with a few others… It’s unfortunate to say. But I don’t think people would be willing to pay more than $200 for and that’s probably stretching it. You’ll most likely get lowballed at $125-$150… Sighs… Again, this is why I’m not wasting my talent on the SON crowd… Maybe if the od person personally asks me to make them something worth while I would. In reality it’s probably worth about $300-$350 --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/interest-check/117242)._
