As long as it's thick wall, then mild steel will be okay. Schedule 40 (.134" thick) steel pipe is okay in mild steel, but you can use schedule 10 (.109") thick) if you make in it with 304L stainless 'weld-L's'. Regular thin wall (.049" or .065") header tubing is a no-no! Or you can use .065" thin-wall if it's type 316 or 321 stainless, but at that point the materials will set you back $400-500 alone!

haha what no one wants an inconel header?
They'd all likely be built to order because everyone is going to want something different. Alternatively I've given some thought on what it would take to make the header capable of accepting adapter plates so the end user could make the choice of what turbos will meet their needs and still fit.

It's a good thing shipping isn't part of the declared value. Thanks for the info.

How are you planning on cutting the flange?
Plasma, water-jet.....
Thanks for thinking of us.
