Fubar231 Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Aluminum exhaust? I thought aluminum doesnt work for exhaust tubing as its melting point is so low and will warp from the hot exhaust. Or is this like Aluminized Steel?

SPL_Josh Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Aluminum exhaust? I thought aluminum doesnt work for exhaust tubing as its melting point is so low and will warp from the hot exhaust. Or is this like Aluminized Steel? Aluminized steel wouldn't weld like that. Melting point if aluminum is 1200 degrees, although it oxides rather quickly and aluminum oxide has a melting temp of 3700+. Nice exhaust and sweet shop.

Pham and multiple others have been running aluminum with great success....we'll see how it lasts. Aluminized steel wouldn't weld like that.

rl Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 I ran a 4" aluminum turbo back for several years, supported well it holds up. I've done a bunch of aluminum downpipes for different cars (mostly short runs on race cars) and never had an issue. Well, one issue when a turbine wheel came apart and shredded the downpipe. My new setup with have a fender exit 5" aluminum downpipe. When I ran it nobody made a muffler so I had to make my own, the vibrant one looks good!
