Usually for exhaust systems with cast iron manifolds , the rule is that the first piece of the exhaust and the first silencer should be made out of steel , rest can be stainless steel. this is because stainless steel can`t get rid of the heat quick enough. if you just drive off and on trailer no problem , but if you drive for a long wile your manifold will get red hot and crack in the end.

Well I've never heard of that ? Complete exhaust systems for all makes of vehicles are quite common place. I've run my BSA WM20 motorcycle for years with a stainless system, and not much gets hotter than that.

I don`t think it was stainless steel , it will be a steel exhaust wich is chromed , and that counts for a steel exhaust . and motorbikes dont have a cast manifold. Sports cars have a welded made up manifold , so that is another story

OK Maurice. I'm happy to have a friendly debate on the subject some more. I purchased a complete stainless system for my Dad's Jag. XJ6 some years ago and shipped it to him in Zimbabwe! The company even told me the grade of stainless, but I've forgotten now. I would have thought that the exhaust port area of a cast iron side valve engine to be just as hot as any manifold. More research needed I feel. Regards Ron

You guys may have better luck discussing the types of metal used in exhaust systems in the restoration forum.
Today I finished repainting one of the sides and applying the "Hells Angles" logo again. I also installed my original WS19 cover for the Mk1 Carriers. I have to say its pretty cool seeing it all come together over the past year. Another weekend and its been 5yrs that I have had it.
