well, people probably thought that the wheel was stupid at first too.

there are tons of people already doing it. the only catch is that you can't really run near the engine. the higher exhaust temps near a turbo or the engine will kill the aluminum pretty fast.

its not going to be as strong as a stainless counterpart, but it will be strong enough.

the exhaust should have more of a howl to it, but its not going to be any louder they a stainless ehxuast. if you using the same muffler and pipe routing, there shouldn't be an effect on noise. just the tone.

i would think you could probably shave off 20~30 lbs on a full system. thats some serious weight.

i would do the first one for around $650. that would include pipe, muffler and 3 v-band clamp sets. so not only will it be light, it will be quick disconnect as well.

this is one time thing though as far as the price goes.,

if anyone is thinking about doing this from out of town, it should only take one day to build (10-6) as long as everything is ordered ahead of time.

its nice this time of year in georgia
