Hey Guys;
I'm about to order some SS tubing from Dawley and would prefer to order the
.035 wall for weight reasons. Reading the section on exhaust in the book
"Maximum Boost", Corky Bell suggests that thinner material will remain
cooler as there is less material to absorb and conduct heat. This makes
sense, but I just thought I'd ask the list as I know some of you have
already experimented with this.
Has anybody considered having the interior wall of the exhaust pipe ceramic
coated? I've already had the rotors ceramic coated, and the company that did
them recommended that the exhaust pipe be done as well, but it needs to be
done while new, as it is impossible to properly clean exhaust residue from
the inside of the pipe.
