Default Aluminum Exhaust

Helo everybody!

Im thinking to make my exhaust system ( from middle of car to back ) include back box with aluminium... Do you think its a gud idea? The idea behind is to lessen weight and some people told me alluminum box sound greater than stainless steel....?

Plz give your opinion!

Thanx

By aluminium box do mean muffler? I Think it would be hard to make an aluminium muffler unless your a pro welder. And if not how do you join aluminium piping and a stainless muffler/resonator. Besides that I never seen it done before so why not. I don't think a catback would get too hot for aluminium.

I say if you have the resources then do it. What's the worst that can happen? You don't like it and you take it oFf?

im sorry i guess i dont see the point in doing it here...
for one i dont think your car makes that much power to warrant spending this much time and money (if your out sourcing the welding which i assume you are) to save a couple pounds if that...
i say just stick with stainless its easier and ---- theres so many different cat back systems out there that if you cant find one you like your just plain stupid but thats just my 2 cents
