I've seen people use 304ss but iirc there is another grade that handles heat cycling better. What kind of bike is it?

321 is a stabilized grade of stainless that was developed to resist cracking in aircraft exhaust systems. It's available in various sizes and radii from Burn's stainless. The correct filler is 347 ... another stabilized grade of stainless. I recommend it for turbo exhaust because of the high temperatures.

You can use 321 but remember it's more expensive and less readily available than 304. A properly welded and back purged 304 manifold will be perfectly fine for this application.
