why would you put a new downpipe on if you dont care about restriction. If you dont care whats wrong with the stock one? just curious. and youde have to find out if whatever thats made of can withstand the heat of exhaust

my cousin used that stuff on his jeep, works for the most part but he used small 2 foot sections just to redirect the exhoust down and out.

man, seriously, are you like assembling the bits and pieces of your car from junkyards and home depot and bed bath and beyond or something?

you say that is for exhaust? do you mean like an exhaust vent for a kitchen or something?

^^lol.......they sell this stuff at alot of auto parts stores, it is meant for the exhoust. i mostly see it in stainless steel but it may be mild steel i normally see. its mostly meant as a temporary fix, idk if it leaks though. dezod uses something similar on their turbo kits....atleast on their recirced downpipes. youll notice the short little section coming from their wastegate thats ribbed.......i assume its the same principle

im not sure what advantage you're thinking of those, performance wise it doesnt help and cosmetic wise they dont look good either

down pipe gets alot hotter than your midepipe. and its hard to weld that cheap stuff the pipe may last but i dont think the welds will thats just from what ive seen in the pass but who knows it might .
