Why SS? Longevity? Mild Steel would be cheaper and the same weight, just might rot a little sooner. ---

Make a custom down pipe that runs from the turbo into the cabin of the car. It’s cheaper. ---

the price per piping is only like 20$ cheaper for mild vs SS for a WHOLE exhaust you’re really that cheap to save 3$ that u would take mild over stainless? (im not talking to you turbols1 lol) if i didnt have any piping, then i would buy stainless, if i had 35feet of mild sitting in my garage then i would make one out of that ---
