You sure its stainless? or just that fancy mild steel stuff. (forget what its called).

Stainless is an absolute bitchh to work with compared to mild, and is farken heavy.

The guy at the exhaust shop told me to not mix and match, but spose it doesnt really matter unless its a show car, only thing that happens is if you use two different types of metal they react with each other and rust quicker.

Hope this helps if not a little

but not all of us can afford to go that path ...

so i guess stainless steel would be good... cheap and light

BS

the stuff alot of shops use it mild steel with a aluminum coating. Help protect against corrosion.

Mild steel is lighter than stainless.
