I was wondering what you guys are using for exhaust pipes? I've seen the what appears to be corrugated foil type pipe used.. Where can I find this? Any alternatives?

Thanks much.

you can gettem from any parts house just ask for a pre-heater hose those used to go on exhaust manifold to the breather on older ford and gm motors

I went to O'Riely and Autozone.. No dice.. Autozone had molded rubber hoses.. But I doubted the rubber would handle the temps. What temperatures do these run at?

ORiley had some, just too big.. And I specified aluminum at autozone and he replied, I hadn't seen that in awhile"

Maybe it's cuz I live in the sticks... I'll try Napa tomorrow.
Do the motors get too hot for the rubber hoses? I tried to find out what temps they could handle but I didn't see it mentioned anywhere..

The rubber will not hold up and holds the heat too long. The aluminum 1inch is the only way to go. I'm just going to figure out how to do a deflector and call it a day. The hose stuff is a pain and keeps comming apart the way I have my motor.

The hose stuff is a pain and keeps comming apart the way I have my motor.i ran a polished stainless deflector some last year and it worked real well. i saw to many hoses get ripped of in wrecks!!!!
