There are alot of performance exhaust companies in So Cal, you might try hitting a few of them up about building a run of headers. I am HEAVILY involved in the Dakota RT group (was president of the club...) and we have had a few people that have gone out and had small runs of custom parts made for us (Fuel rails, headers, TB's etc etc... So I know what you are up against.

Try Spintech, they were the ones who did our larger tube headers. Also a company called Leach performance (San Diego IIRC) who was building most of the headers for Mopar Performance.

Mild Steel, and coated, you should be able to come in under $1K easily... We were getting our coated V8 headers for 700 ish.

edit: Try Cometic gaskets for your header/collector gaskets too... impregnated mesh type gaskets that work really well, and they can custom make them to spec.
