Aluminum Exhaust
#12
I realize I am play devils advocate here (so don't think I am trying to put your fire out), but here's my pitch for 321 stainless.
18-20 Gauge T321 stainless is your best bet.
1. It will resist corrosion.
2. Readily available bends, mandrel type stuff.
3. Easy to weld in comparison to aluminum unless your a wiz welder
4. The last point is theory, but, where 321 stainless is staying strong in the high temps, aluminum would start to be getting soft right? At least I would think so...
Lastly, if your going to do this for realz, let us know how it turns out!
