For how much $$$? TBE?

 

I don't think the ebay exhausts are full stainless. They are stainless coated.

 

I spend the money for the good stuff when it needs to be. As far as an exhaust, I went with ebay, its me 2nd one and I have no complaints. Had one one my 05 and on my 03 now.

 

Please explain what a stainless coating is? Coatings are made up of partial metal for heat although no coating is true SS304. Not trying to flame just want to understand what you mean.

 

I have an Ebay 02 housing PPI coated and i'd highly reccomend this to anyone. Not a bad cheap mod.

 

Please do flame.

Stainless coating? That's the most ignorant comment I've read yet.

 

lol

 

haaa

 

I get into the bad habit of calling it stainless coated. It's a Ni/Ti/Fe/Cr plating.
We used to order full stainless concentric coolers from a company. About two years ago we noticed the high failure rates. We come to find the company we were getting these cooelrs from started purchasing coolers from a mfgr in china. they were not full stainless anymore. they are now "stainless coated".
when you buy an exhaust for $100 that has over $100 in "stainless steel" in it. Most likely it's not full stainless steel. If you look at the prices of metal.. , forming cost, labor (even cheap Chinese labor), shipping,, you're not buying a full stainless exhaust. The Chinese are undoubtedly the masters of producing a part as cheap as possible. They are very creative.

304, 316, 409, 410, 430 are all considered HSRs High Stain Resistant steels



Whatever do for a living, it obviously doesn't involve the manufacture of metal products.
Just a reminder... Ignorance is the lack of knowledge.

Man.. this place is turning into POS DSM.

 

I guess if your talking about chinese made metal we have no idea what they use. Thanks for the clarification I see why you called it a coating although it is just a really shiny paint that I have seen chip off from time to time. There is no QC on some of these Ebay parts which is why I don't understand why people keep ordering them. Yes people are disrespecting their EVO with these bargain basement parts. Oh well not like we can stop it.
