Hey I putting togethor a turbo header for my 8 and want to use 304 steel, but its kind of expensive and alluminum wouldnt hurt the wallet as much. Would aluminum be fine to build a header out of or no? Do you guys know any sites for well priced steel.

 

Exhaust header? Wouldn't aluminum melt?

 

aluminum is a bad idea for a turbo. you need the steel, thats why kits arent cheap cuz good kits dont skimp on materials

 

Do you guys know of any sites with well priced steel tubing.

 

if you have little to no welding and pipe bending experience, i would just buy a header specifically made for the 8 instead of trying to make one. stainless is the way to go. aluminum would not hold up to the heat.
