16 g stainless 304 is not too thing while the optimal choice is a 321 i think that you can make 304 last as long proper header building technique is employed. You should also build a brace to take the load off the header, this way the ehader can grow and do what it needs and not crack

You may have problems duplicating that in the space you have in the car. Make sure to check the radius of the bends. I'd bet money that the bends you're considering out of tubing will not turn as sharp of a radius as the pipe fittings in the pic of the manifold you're wanting to duplicate.
