Re: material for DP (nlc)

SS would be ideal. Mild steel should be coated. Do NOT use galvanized steel.

For you lazy people... http://www.jcwhitney.com/autop...10101

I prefer not to paint it or take the big bar code sticker off, it gives your downpipe more character... my downpipe also likes to drink beer.

It works really well. It smells like *** for the first little bit, but I had a mild steel downpipe that was over 4 yrs old and didn't have one spec of rust. Rustoleum Grill Paint!
