aluminized piping
what is wrong with using aluminized piping? i'm assuming its lighter than stainless steal, and considerably cheaper. what is the downside of using this for exhaust?

Aluminized steel is just a aluminum+zinc coating. It probably weighs the same or more as stainless. Stick with SS for exhausts. You will be happier in the long run.

The pipe is the heaviest of all the piping from Aluminized, Stainless and Titanium. If weight is not a concern, and the system you want is available in aluminized, you'll save some $$$ too!
