Look at it this way. If you can do the work and welding, it is very close in price to a raw mild steel header from TTI in 1 7/8" tubes. I have had the same TTI steel headers, that were originally chrome plated on the outside, on my car since the early 2000s. A huge pile of rust came out of both sides last time I took them off. I really want stainless next time.
