most exhaust shops dont deal with aluminum. stainless steel is nice if rust is a concern but weighs a lot more.

I assume you're talking about turbo piping, in which case aluminium would be preferred.

Weight, thermal properties, and corrosion resistance.

Well, if you can get a good price on the SS, it will work fine also.
