The material cost of making a complete schedule 40 manifold is much cheaper than making a tubeular stainless manifold.
You should never use simple mild steel tubing for a turbo manifold,so ,that would not be a viable option.
Ask a fab shop to make a stainless tubeular turbo manifold for you,it will shock you about the price.
Just in stainless tube material alone w/out my exhaust flange.
I have about $350 IIRC,as it has been a while since I ordered these tubes.
Shocking is Burns prices :
