Thread: Exhaust to Stainless or not

Tweet

Why stainless? I can think of several reasons to have a stainless exhaust, but there are two why not to have one. The first, too costly. The second, I can build my own out of regular steel tubing and did. The Flowmaster mufflers were ~$90 each, the rest of the system, less then $100 including all clamps, U and J bends and 10 feet of tube, welding gas and wire

I agree with IC2 and the other thing that was pointed out to me when I had my custom headers and exhaust system built for my Anglia. Stainles exhaust create an unusual exhaust note that some don't like. We have two different companys in NZ that do ceramic coating which I would recommend. Don (Itoldyouso) has ceramic coated headers on his Bucket that hasn't discoloured from use.
