    Hmmm, i looked into having an Inconel made for my Caterham R500 some years ago and found that it was some 8 times more than stainless steel. This would have been around £ 5K for my system, second problem is that it is prone to cracking around stress areas like collector boxes and manifold joints and requires carefull design so that it does not flex putting undue strain in these areas. Also trying to find an engineer shop to bespoke make the manifold flange was difficault because no data existed for my engine. So in the end it was just not viable because it offered no power gains and the weight issue was not worth the cost.

    Still would have been cool but if your R500 engine vibrates like my tiger does it would not last 5 mins
