How much? $10K? If you can convince 4 or 9 other people to pay that much, you can probably find someone to do the job. If you will "only" be willing to pay $2K, you'll probably need to find 49 other people who are willing to pay.

As we saw with Pelican's flare project, it's really very easy to say "why don't they make X, I'd be willing to pay a lot!" Hundreds of people will do that. But relatively few people are actually willing to put their money up...

If you're really serious about this, drop Racer Chris a line (his website is http://www.tangerineracing.com ) and ask him what it would take to re-work his Super Header system so you could wrap heat exchanger ducting around it. I do suggest you be sitting down when he quotes a price, though, as custom fab work is never cheap. Particularly when done to those kinds of quality standards.
