So you really spend 5grand on weld el's? I am sort of impressed by that.

Until you realize he didnt have to buy that many. You can get 321 stainless weld els in 1.5" sch10 and sch40 for $15-$17 each from ace race. The 1.25 and sch 5 is a bit more difficult.

That price was a large reason I did this. At the price I'm getting these I can sell them for around half that. Also Ace does not have straight sections of 321 pipe nor do they stock schedule 5. Welding 321 to a 304 collector doesn't seem like a good idea. I'm not sure schedule 5 will be adequate but my buddies who do work for AWD platforms and make beautiful stuff seem to believe so. I guess we will see.

My order was a bit shy of 5 grand.

Hopefully he puts it to good use.

I drool over my 321 tubular header for my wrx every time I go into the garage

Mind linking your source?

Yeah I kinda do mind. If this goes well I'll start an llc and do it on the side to support the habit. So I think it's best I keep that to myself. Hope you understand.

herbster89

Not trying to be a jerk. I just put a lot of time into making this deal happen.

Now get a quote from BMC race on a 321 flange. I pooped a little, when I asked it was 2 bills.

iTrader: (76)

ouch. but even still you're looking at like 5-600 for a short tubular, which isn't bad

Pro-tip goto PRL motorsports and get flanges from them instead. I have had Dennis there copy my BMC ones and he gets them made in a timely maner and is cheaper. Not sure what they would charge for 321 flange.

That would be nice, the BMC timeframe was basically, when its done. It was worth it because they were the only ones that did it at the time and no squishing of tubes required. And of course back then, the 321 weld els were going to be like $10 a pop.

herbster89

damn them at Ace Race! Thought i was ahead of the curve here. 321 flat stock is stupid expensive 700 for 1/2'' x 4'' x 20'. Being a tool and die maker my first thought was to machine my own 321 flanges. But for that price, fudge that. I'll stick with hot rolled and blanchard ground.
