joe-ep91 Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Ive just got some quotes for a custom cat-back exhaust system, I've not had an after-market exhaust fitted before just wondered if there was much difference between a mild steel or a stainless steel one! should be getting it done between now and xmas so there should be pictures soon. Any help or info will be appreciated.JOE Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Big_T-SR Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 As far as performance wise... i don't think there is any... its just that stainless will not rust. With the performance side, i'd imagine it was more to do with the construction of the pipes, but then you'd be looking at brands and stuff to see about quality of design etc. But with concerns about the matierial... i don't think so, but i could very well be wrong.Pics Pics Pics!

Mikey Jay Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Yeah, think performance is more to do with the quality of workmanship rather than the material Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Stainless steel for cat back systems Manifolds/decats should get mild steel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Big_T-SR Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Is there a reason for that Sparkx? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 mild steel can take the weight of turbo etc so is ore than capable of holding its own weight, stainless is more prone to cracking Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Big_T-SR Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 ahhh, i c. Thanks for that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SiCaln Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 go to an exhaust fab and ask em to make one, just bit of exhaust pipeor take your standard one and smash the cat to... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rich Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Can't really do it on an N/A Si I've looked and it seems to be part of the pipework Unlike turbo where you can unbolt one end of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sam_turbs Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 on a jreg ep82 it has no cat right? are there still baffels in the pipe where the cat should be? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rich Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 The only differences I can think of between them are:-Sound(only applies with full systems): Stainless steel will give a more "Tinny" sound than mild steel.-Gaurantee: You Sometimes get lifetime garantee with stainless steel sytems you don't with mild (maybe 2-3 years) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
