put a good amount of really high temp paint to keep it from rusting quickly and youll be fine.

Re: downpipe materials (turbodGSR)

it can be made out of either, it just depends on how much u wanna spend and the environment that the part will be in.

mild
-less expensive than stainless
-doesnt "last" as long as stainless

stainless
-more expensive than mild
-lasts longer than mild
