Deal, did somebody say Deal? Oh, Dean, yeah that's me.

Black pipe is fine. It is probably damn close to the steel the header is cast from.

Pick up one for your current size as well for $.79. You never know, the taper on it might go further out than your egt. Depending on the head on it, you might drill a cross hole in it and put a piece of safety/baling wire through and around the header for a while.

Don't over tighten a tapered thread. It it has enough bite, it might split that button in half.
