just got quoted 100bux for a exhaust manifold flange. that is just cutting and material cost though, will do all cad drawing myself.

can't expect anything like that to be cheap i suppose

I assume you're using stainless? Etech would be the best place to do it... Mike Christie sheet metals on Moa st do water jet cutting if it's any help.

no not at the moment. that quote was just for mild steel.

but considering doing it in stainless - not sure if the extra cost will be cheaper than having to hpc treat the mild steel.

$100 isnt to bad, will keep them in mind once the down pipe is ready to be done.

We use Mike Christie at work and they do a good job, just wanting to see what others charge
