-------------- Original message from John Slade <sladerj@sbcglobal.net>: --------------

No ceramics or inconel.
I was advised to go for the "big-shaft" whatever that means. (could relate to the price in some way :)
By the way - I'm using an exhaust manifold made by xspower and sold on ebay for $99. I check it regularly. No signs of problems yet. Here are a few images of the components.
