JohnA Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Weight and cosmetics are not the only considerations. It also depends on the loads it will have to deal with (if it is structural!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 What are you planning to use it for? This is the key I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkdtime Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Stainless steel, High grade aluminium will rust readily if the protective layer is deeply grazed. For road use, exhaust weight has negligeable effect on the cars performance TBH, even less when running big power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samsupra37 Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 What's the strongest and more durable for application on my car? Thanks. Hi We use 316 marine grade stainless steel on our exhaust systems and intercooler pipe work. Hope that helps. Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted March 23, 2006 Author Share Posted March 23, 2006 thanks guys, going to use it on some engine bling like strut brace, hood pins, and pipe work. Looks like stainless steel is the way to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digsy Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 How about polished ally for the intercooler pipes and strut brace and stainless for the exhausts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 How about polished ally for the intercooler pipes and strut brace and stainless for the exhausts? I agree ally for the strut brace and pipework, stainless for exterior parts, it is also much easier to maintain the shine with stainless steel.
