Just my opinion, & I'm certainly no materials engineer, but generally
stainless (I'll concede it does come in different flavors, and most
importantly, different wall thicknesses) isn't the best choice for very high
heat applications.... like a turbo.
Hmm... the hottest parts in the turbo application would be the EM and the
turbine housing, right? Neither of these parts are made with SS in the OE
applications. Seems like that is worth considering. My header was made with
weld els, from what I can tell. Maybe it'll last, maybe it won't... but it
currently has nearly 17k miles on it, is ceramic coated (on the outside), and has
been to the point of glowing brightly on many, many occasions.
