Default mild or stainless

I going to be making my own charge pipes. If I go with mild steel I will have them powder coated. If I go ahead and do the SS I will leave the metal raw. My question is for the people that have gone the mild steel route do yall have problems with the piping rusting from the inside. I was told that this may be a problem with mild steel. What are your experiences?

I've gone with mild steel cuz it's cheaper, I can weld it and I don't give a damn about bling. Will probably paint it when done.

If your worried, then just spray paint the inside of the piping.

I guess I could just use a high temp spray paint on the inside of the piping. Do any of yall know about how much it cost to powder coat charge pipes?

Buy your own powder coater from http://www.eastwoodco.com, get the Delux HOTCOAT system, 149 bucks for a complete setup including powder.... Thats what i did and my pipes turned out awsome.. all you need is an oven....
