Inconel turbo mani?

Has anyone here ever seen anyone selling d or b series turbo manifolds made from inconel? would it be worth it?

Doing some searches found it is used in f1 racing. Also for valves.

Quote:

Inconel is a very high quality (yet expensive and difficult to machine) metal that is used extensively in the racing and aeronautical industry (Audi Sport sells an Inconel exhaust manifold for $10,000). Inconel has excellent heat retention characteristics that work to enhance turbo response by keeping exhaust velocities high. We guarantee that this manifold will never crack.

Re:Inconel turbo mani?

I know that, I was just wondering if anyone is using it to make turbo manifolds...or is it sooo damn expensive that it would be pointless? oops! sorry I didn't read your whole post...it looks like it would be WAAAAY to expensive, oh well, it's nice to dream...
