John,

If you're referring to the header that sold for $229 on Aug 26 those are steel, 
not aluminum.  And to be honest, I don't know if there is such a thing.  I 
don't think it would even be practical.  The only materials I've seen headers 
made from is mild steel (will rust) and stainless steel (takes longer to rust).

At least that auction is the only one I could find for a TR6 header.  If that's 
not the one send the link - I'd be curious to see it.
