i was looking for 22"magnaflow resonator. and seems like they only make 22"inch resonator with Aluminized. but will Aluminized get rust overtime? or is it better than stainless steel?

if anyone know site for Stainless Steel 22"mangaflow resonator let me know thanks.

 

Aluminized piping will rust but so will stainless over time. It just takes different amounts of time for each to rust.

 

but is it better than Mild steel?

also Aluminized and stainless can weld together no problem right?

 

Yes aluminized offers better corrosion protection than mild steel piping. As far as welding aluminized to stainless I am not 100% sure so I will let one of the "experts" answer.

 

Stainless will rust over time, but it takes almost forever to do so

The only rust you will see with stainless would be surface rust (which is not very hard to remove).

At our company we have a big jar full of ocean water and sand with 4 or 5 small cut pieces of round bar and flat bar with different stainless alloys in it. The material has been in the jar (unopened) since 1995. A few of them have developed surface rust or small growths (mold-like) on them but that is all.

oxygen is needed though for rust to occur...if it's sealed, it wont get any O2

 

cool thanks guys.

It wasn't just a test for rust. It's test to show the effects of salt water on the different types of stainless steel. There is some air in the jar..but it is a good way to show the corrosive resistance of stainless steel.

 

oh ok. thought you were trying to just test rust. cool though

 

Ocean water is the WORST on about any kind of metal. We left a boat trailer at our house at the marsh for about ten years in the salt air, my little brother stood on it, and it crumbled. Bend an aluminum can and put it in a crab trap, submerge it, bring it up, and it is gone the next day. SS since 95 is good stuff!

haha..thats crazy..i dont live by any ocean or lake. just rain here alot.

<U>Again. *Anyone know site for Stainless Steel 22"mangaflow resonator let me know thanks.*</U>

 

Im really lucky, I live by the ocean AND they put enough salt on the roads in the winter that your car would probably see less salt by driving off a boat ramp. Aluminized will last for quite a long time. Just make sure the welds are coated with something as they will be the first to go.
