<div>When you park the car after a long drive, water
will collect in a mild steel exhaust system and relatively quickly
the welds in the internal baffles on the silencer will corrode and
break away. So whether you drive the car or not the silencers
corrode internally.  having SS silencers is a good idea.
 pipes can be mild steel and they will last forever.</div>

<div>I make my own front pipes for 100's because the
cheapo repos are so terrible. 
<div>I use mild steel for the pipes, which I actually
had mandrel bent in New Zealand because no one in Canada seemed to
be able to bend them to the correct radius but, and pretty soon
I'll get to the point of this email, I weld the stainless flex to
the mild steel with my TIG welder. </div>
<div>I use mild steel for the pipes because I have yet
to see a front pipe that has rusted through unless the car is
driven extensively on salted roads.</div>
<div>I'm sure anyone who does TIG welding could do the
welding for you in mild steel but if you are prepared to pay
handsomely FAB Stainless Welding could do them in stainless 905 669
7400 ask for Frank.</div>
<div>BTW the stainless steel flex seems to leak slightly
when first installed but that stops after a little use, the gaps
probably fill with carbon.</div>

Just thought I’d bring you up to date on my quest for a leak free
exhaust.<br>
The new downpipes arrive today, and I did a test on them before
going to the trouble of putting them on the car.<br>
Well…Bell exhaust systems need new welders, because the two pipes
both leak at the welds AND through the flex pipe!<br>
I’m trying to find someone local to fix them, but most muffler
shops say they can't weld stainless.<br>
If anyone knows someone in the Toronto area who can do this work,
please let me know.<br><br>
