Re: Stainless Steel Headers... worth it or no?
I cannot see where there would be any ET in a material change from mild steel to stainless.
The ET in headers is purely design, tube diameter, and tube length.
Coating is worth as much as 2.5%.
The correct steps in tubing diameter can be worth as much as 2%.
In order to take full advantage of merge collectors, a cam change may be necessary.
In order to make a set of "tri-Y" or 4-2-1 headers work, as opposed to s set of 4 into 1 headers, you would probably also need a cam change.
Jere Stahl has closed his doors, the only thing he's shipping now is pre bent kits he had left over.
If you want 4 into 1, Kromer is building headers again, or Mark Lelchook.
For 4-2-1 stuff, you have Calvin Elston and Mark Lelchook.
I have friends running headers from all three of those shops, and all are happy.
