Intercooler Piping Material
What do you guys recommend...I want to buy all the bends and piping and get it welded up....is Stainless overkill...or can I just get alluminized steel and get it powdercoated? Any opinions.

I had all my IC piping, valve cover and heat shields all microcoated (thermal barrier) which gives it a polished look and keeps the intake charge cooler, take a look:

is Aluminized steel the same thing as mild steel?...it really rusts that easily?
Think of aluminzed steel as mild steel with a coat of good paint.
Stainless is overkill.

Is the Aluminized steel the stuff you can buy from JC Whitney?
