Question:
What are the advantages of Pypes Stainless Steel Systems?
Answer:
Stainless Steel is primarilly a
metal alloy that contains chromium.
It this chromuim content that gived
the metal it's corrosion resistance.
It's name is meant to imply that
it will "stain less" then other alloys, and not that it is "stain free".
We currently have two grades of Stainless Steel exhaust components
available.
409 Stainless:
The price is comparable to most aluminized
systems on the market.
This material is used on most of the newer cars
produced today.
While 409 Stainless will turn a reddish-brown color
and may get a hint of surface rust.
It will not rust through, allowing
it to have exceptional corrosion resistance.
304 Polished Stainless:
Highly polished with a nice show-quality
finish.
This material has excellent corrosion resistance.
It may turn a
bluish-gold color at the hottest points.

Question:
I was always told stainless steel isn't magnetic.
Why does a magnet stick to my stainless steel exhaust?
Answer:
What you've heard about the
magnetism of stainless steel is only partially true.
Many grades of
stainless steel are magnetic.
It is only in the grades that have nickle
added to their alloy, that loose their magnetic properties.
We have
noticed that our 409 Stainless steel products are a little magnetic.
But
our 304 Polished Stainless steel products have little or not magnetic
properties.

Question:
Do the Pypes systems come ready to install?
Answer:
Yes & No, All systems are
mandrel bent for various body styles.
But because of different headers,
mufflers and options some systems may require cutting pipes to size.
Also an occasional “tweaking” of a pipe might be necessary to fit
certain models.
Please refer to our instructions for more details on your model.
