Default Quick BOV flange question...

Im assuming a steel flange can only be welded onto steel piping? Also which is "better"? Aluminum or steel? What if I just JB Weld it? Shouldent matter right? Thx.

Aluminum is lighter, and more expensive.

Most charge pipes we do are steel mandrel bends. I'm assuming you want to JB weld your BOV flange onto your cold air intake? Ya it would probably work, but its a bit ghetto.

Personally i like my aluminum better but its pretty crazy to weld. Steel would be good and with jb weld ,as long as it gets the job done but im a detail freak so im picky.

Use my CAI pipe for IC piping... yea that would work Saves me the trouble of figuring out some of the piping. Ghetto all the way.
