Hey fellas, I got a quick question. What type material is the starion IC made of? I talked with our welding/fab professor today and he said that if it's made of Alum., then it won't weld to the steel pipe I have for it?

so if i buy aluminum elbows, it would be best to just buy all aluminum pipes as well and weld them all togehter instead of using couplings. im sure i can twist and turn them into place with theam all welded.i could get the whole pipe piece chromed

I would think that using just two couplers and using the rest aluminized pipe would be cheaper. Any exhasut shop can weld it. Aluminum needs to be heli-arced to be welded. I would also bring to attention(I may face myself) that if you weld all the pipes, what happens if you get a fender bender or need to remove the IC for some reason. Life might be hell trying to manuever two giant pieces of pipe to get out of the way. You wouldn't have to worry about blown couplers or leaks too much. What part # should I use from RRE? Which was the best piece to buy? 2.5 90 degree or 2.25 90 degree??? Thanks
