We still need to make a support for it.

That's a good deal - with all of that fabrication and the cost of stainless. If I could make a lot of them and have the pipes pre - bent I would probably sell them in that range. usualy because of material dynamics i use a mild steel flange on both ends. with an stainless flange(either end)an aluminum head will flex and expand quite a bit at high temps. the stainless however, is much less sensitive to heat so....as the aluminum changes shape it leaves gaps between the head and the flange. same with the cast iron at the turbo. a multi layer copper gasket should take care of most of that. just a little hint - you can also save around 75.00 - 100.00 going with mild steel flanges.
