i'm having a custom exhaust shop basically replace my entire system from the HRC downpipe back. much easier for them to deal with that way instead of having to make a flange to go onto the turbo.

so what kind of metal is it? aluminized steel? stainless steel? i'm guessing it's aluminized steel with the ceramic coating that they speak of on their site.

Yeah, I do believe its ceramic coated, almumized steel..

The only thing that would make me question the aluminum part is welding. Can aluminumized steel be welded?? I had my DP welded, so it's definatley some kind of steel b/c straight up aluminum doesn't weld (well, it does, but that's another post) and I know for sure it's ceramic coated. Hope this helps.


Yes officer, the windows are mirrored!
