Lynn,

That confirms what I have read about Inconel - it's light ( for racing), it's very expensive, it takes heat very well and all that's good for both racing types and those with deep pockets. Wait for it, there's more - it doesn't last. That's OK for racing but not good for Aviation!

It might do well in thicker wall but the headers are about $10,000 a set and are made in England. Pitching them weekly seems a bit harsh but as the guy told me, Explain to Budwiser how you were leading in their car up to the last lap, and the header you tried to get an extra heat cycle out of to save money cracked open, when each weekend costs over a million bucks. I got these for $15.00 a set, with a bunch of extra tubes and two turbo waste gate headers (flat things that fit between the body work and the rear tire). But they are works of art. They also flush a bunch of time change items after each race, but demil things that might turn up in lesser race cars like rod ends and monoballs.
