Default Newer TSP TD's in stainless heavier ??

I ran the older style TSP td's back in the day that were in aluminumized steel , looking at running the new TD's that come in stainless steel , just wondering how much heavier if any at all the SS td's compare to the older ones

Usually, 304 stainless tubing is LIGHTER THAN aluminized steel, even in 16 gauge thickness.

The new stainless steel system is lighter than the mild steel system.

In actuality the new stainless system is cheaper than the older mild steel version.

Wow, you don't see this very often on here , I want to commend 1nastyss for taking the time, and for knowing how to close out a thread and having the courtesy to thank those that answered his question. This is very rare with our new members , take a lesson from this guy.
