I vote mild steel. stainless is expensive.

Me too... it's cheaper to buy, and easier to work with...

 

what if price isnt the issue. I get ss for pretty cheap. Im just alking bout **** performance wise? I am going to produce these and wondering which u guys prefer and the price for ss isnt that much more then mild . thanks alot guys

 

Aluminum. Its cheaper than both and makes the ideal pipe material (lightweight, high thermal conduction rate)

 

stainless is heavy too

 

Thanks guys, Aluminum cost a bit more then stainless but you guys covinced me to go with alum. You guys will like

 

SS has more heat transfer, worse for ic pipes... alum is the way to go. cheaper, lighter, better performance....

Which is it?

 

Aluminum bends are a bit more expesive. You have to heat treat it before bending it and heat treat it after bending it. Also cost a bit more in raw state and not any bender can mandrel bend aluminum.
