Default Re: Exhaust material


For Burns Stainless' full dissertation on why they don't build aluminum exhausts. That blue line really sums it up though. That's the yield strength of aluminum plunging as temperatures approach those we'll see in an exhaust system. The purple line on the bottom is the yield strength of annealned 6061-0 that you'll find around all your welds. Yikes!
