You may be interested in this too...then it could be migged with no issues instead of tig welding it.

lightly polished 304

after polishing

there is no way you can do that by hand

O yea of little faith.. I'll take a pic of scotts new hot pipe for you. It looked like the first pic before he polished it, not as good as the second but close after he was done... took about 20 min? I'll even tell you what he used.

Come on! I know you can handle a little bit of polishing. It isn't rocket science.

Here's a pic or 2

The cold pipe in the pic is polished Alum. (Greddy I/C kit) The hot pipe is 304 (unpolished) then polished by hand.

ahh yes thats not stainless chris....stainless is much harder to polish. Aluminum is a very soft metal that is very easy to polish....not stainless. That makes the world of difference right there. Goddam scots car is looking nice man
