    exhaust... stainless steel or mild steel?

    mild steel is nearly half the price of stainless steel...

    wat are the benifits of stainless steel over mild steel for our engines

    and is it worth getting stainless? or just go with mild?

    AFAIK stainless steal is just more hardy when it comes to the elements and exhaust temperatures. You will probly have a different exhaust note from the two aswell. ohh and SS is shiny..

    SS shouldnt rust as bad as mild steel does.

    mild steel can last longer if you spray paint it with some high temp paint to protect it from rust, there wouldnt be any difference between ss and mild steel in terms of gas flow as they are both smooth on the inside, but ss is sexier

    dont paint it... ceramic coat it. It can be done in many places. High temp paint doesnt give the same protection as ceramic coating.

    SS is your choice. Mild-steel is easy to get rust.
