Question about exhaust piping???
What is aluminized steel piping? Is that stainless steel? If not will it rust? I am thinking about getting the HKS Hi-Power exhaust and thats what the piping is made of. I dont want to buy an exhaust that has a chance of rusting in a year.

Re: Question about exhaust piping??? (dawrenn)
aluminized steel is really cheap, nowhere near the quality of stainless. I beleive it is normal steel with a aluminum plating on it to try and prevent rusting

Is that the same as this: The 5Zigen Fireball systems are made from mild steel that have a special coating to resist rust and corrosion.
How long would it be before it would rust? Is there anything I could do to prevent it from rusting?

same thing
depends on the area you live in. a lot of salt in winter= keep on a eye on it. no salt or no winter(like california) no need to worry ever.

it wont rust quickly if live where there isnt to much snow/salt, but if your unsure you could always paint it with some hightemp paint, and put lots of coats cause its gunna get the **** kicked out of it under the car

I live in VA. There is sometimes alot of snow but I really dont drive my car in the Winter becuase of my lip and it being lowered 2 inches. Would painting it with high temp paint really help it from rusting?

Cool. Thanks for letting me know that. All angled exhaust I have looked at are not stainless steel for some odd reason. Out off all of these exhsausts which one would you recommend? Apexi N-1, HKS High-Power, 5Zigen fireball, or the RSR GT2? Which one is not loud?

Re: Question about exhaust piping??? (dawrenn)
then have them make it with an apxi-n1 muffler, it will sound really nice with resonators and everything, they should be able to make it run under the subframe and everything

What are resonaters? If I got custom piping I would get it so the piping went over the LCA.

Re: Question about exhaust piping??? (dawrenn)
it harder to have it angled when it goes over the lca, but resonators take out the raspiness of the exhaust, make it a lot more smooth

My friends Del sol has custom piping that goes through the LCA and its angled exactly how I want it.
