    Could we have a vote on this. Someone says stainless and someone says mild steel?

    The factory exhaust is 2.5" mandrel bent stainless steel, few manufacturers use mild steel in car exhausts these days

    Full stainless on Gen 1,
    Stainless centre and aluminized piping on the rear section on Gen 2.

    Hope this helps.

    Yes, thanks Troy. Today I got the rear resinator removed but with the exhaust being stainless I obviously had to find an exhaust centre who could weld stainless.
    Cheers Alan.
