Dumb question...other than durability and $$$ is there any difference between stainless and mild steel ???
Oh and i have some A body big block headers for sale in the race parts section
Stainless holds heat in the exhaust, which is energy, aiding in better scavenging without having to do what i do. Wrap them, since i build my own out of m. s. Also no rust buildup inside the tubes. That may cause some power loss at some point?
Regular steel, coated, wrapped, or stainless, NONE of that stuff makes any difference in HP. Wrapped will keep heat down in the engine compartment, but it does't help make power.
