SS replacement
 

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.

Re: SS replacement
 

Aluminized steel with several coats of high temp paint

Re: SS replacement
 

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.
