pricing for inconel tubing...
i just got quoted $250 per bend for 2 or 2 1/2"...is that ridiculous, or is it about ballpark? i've never priced out inconel before.

INCONEL headers for a F1 car cost is 100,000, there are areas of perfomance that as ordinary people we can never get into, I call it the US and them FACTOR. let us say titanium rotors, forged molibednum 5053 steel no flex E-SHAFTS chrome, a much better cooling system or use of the heat made in the chamber, so much is wasted, come up with a better way of using it.

ive considered making some type of intake using round tubular steel without all those damn blockoff plates and with better airflow. what would be the best steel for that?

well, i don't mind paying $1k for a manifold if it does what i want and lasts forever, but i think i'll be practicing with some mild steel before i go spending that much just for the pipes
for the intake manifold, use whatever is cheap, then ceramic coat it. intake just holds boost and vacuum, along with its own weight. it doesn't see the punishment that the exhaust does.

If you can weld ss, especially 321, you can weld inconel. Yes I am speaking from experience and I am certainly not a professional welder.
If you've only welded mild steel, get some ss to practice different kinds of welds in different positions.
Your best affordable option is .065 321 tubing and 3/8"-1/2" 308 flanges.
I knew there was a 20b guy out there who had an inconel manifold made but coudn't remember who. Thanks for reminding me 20B 3rd Gen.
How's the car coming along btw?

i thought it was becuase it had good heat resistance, or could at least stand heat cycling better than mild steel?
