aluminum downpipe?
i found a post on another board about it and was wondering if anyone here has done it? I dont know if aluminum can take that much heat but my downpipe is only going to be about 4 feet long. I am just always worried about weight i am trying to keep the car under 3100 pounds race ready

Aluminum piping can be polished, anodized, hard anodized, powder coated or painted. The anodizing process actually becomes part of the metal, and is a pretty tough surface. Hard anodizing is even tougher - it's the grey coating they use on fine cookware.

my worry is i was looking at it yesterday and i have to make a 90 degree right of the turbo. I might just do mild steel. I think the pipe will only be about 3 foot total. I wonder what the weight difference is between 3 feet of aluminum vs 3 feet of mild steel?

u can buy aluminum v bands. 61 bucks from race parts soulutions. u can even get them in a steel and aluminum combo. we just had a buddys dad make ours though. I agree on going through global tech. i was looking there yesterday, they are CHEAP.
