I have not committed one way or the other. It is going to depend on available funds and my ability to bend them. I could get away with strait pipes given the shape of the tunnel but I would like to see the tube kick up front and rear toward the target end.
Stainless.... well its stainless and will last about forever. aluminized exhaust tube.... cheap a little easier to bend. Leaning toward exhaust tube. The concept/challenge of this build is is zero end cost. Im ahead on the budget right now but we all know how fast it disappears once the reassembly starts to happen. I figure painted and taken care of the exhaust tube has a 8-10 year life span. I rarely keep vehicles 2-3 years past completion. If I or the next owner has to redo the coolant pipes 10 years down the road....so be it. steve |

That included a bunch of different diameters (3/8, 5/8, 1 1/4) About 3-6 feet of each. Its not THAT expensive.. I mean maybe twice aluminized tubing, but it welds like regular steel and if you dont do bends you can just cut and weld in angles (thats what I did..) |
