What are the advantages of Pypes Stainless Steel Systems?
Stainless Steel is primarilly a metal alloy that contains chromium. It this chromuim content that gived the metal it’s corrosion resistance. It’s name is meant to imply that it will “stain less” then other alloys, and not that it is “stain free”. We currently have two grades of Stainless Steel exhaust components available. 409 Stainless: The price is comparable to most aluminized systems on the market. This material is used on most of the newer cars produced today. While 409 Stainless will turn a reddish-brown color and may get a hint of surface rust, It will not rust through, allowing it to have exceptional corrosion resistance. 304 Polished Stainless: Highly polished with a nice show-quality finish. This material has excellent corrosion resistance. It may turn a bluish-gold color at the hottest points.
