I dont want to use stainless steel for my exhaust because it's so damn expensive.
I was going to use chrom-moly, but I was told that it wouldnt resist rust.

What is a cheap solution?

I have a high-temp rustoleum paint made for grills and stuff like that. If I spray the whole exhaust with that, do you think it would work?

 

How heavy is chromoly? I remember I had an old BMX Predator made out of chromoly and that ---- was a tank, but it was really heavy.

 

chromoly isnt weight friendly.

i say use mild steel and put a good VHT hi-temp paint on it.

 

I also just remembered about my good friend Galvin.
I'm going to look into galvanized steel too.

 

just use plain old aluminized steel from napa
itll last at least 2 years even in winter salts

trust me in 2 years ull have gone through 3 cars

 

---- my toyota still has the factory aluminzed steel exaust on it from 1987 still looks unrusty and fresh. exept the welds.

 

Aluminized steel with several coats of high temp paint

 

the welds are the first things to rust through

 

Same thing with mild steel wont work?

 

exhaust rusts from the inside out anyways, I use red dear exhaust pipe that is aluminized and it lasts really good. Some pipe is cheap and thin like walker and some is good and thick.
