Why we use the best T-304 stainless steel...


Mild steels exhaust systems are replaced every year due to corrosion and poor performance. Exhaust gases are a mix of carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, unburnt carbons and moisture. These gases condense and attack the system internal components.

Elements such as corrosive salts, moisture and mud contribute to exterior deterioration. These elements combined with the vibration of the vehicle, high temperatures, emission control requirements, uneven road surfaces, make it easy to understand the need and demand for a long lasting exhaust system.

Many custom exhaust systems are built from inferior 400-type stainless steel. The rely on the unawareness of customers, that because the number is higher that it is better than 300 type.

The way stainless steel works is the lower the number the better quality the stainless is
.

Reflex exhausts are built from the highest-grade T-304 stainless steel sourced from only the very best metal manufactures in the US. Our exhausts are stainless inside and out, not mild steel, not just wrapped with stainless on the outside for show.

Coating techniques, such as stainless steel, can somewhat prolong the life of mild steel, but coatings suffer at the weld points and as the pipe work is mild steel, mild steel weld must be used which means the weld points will always rust first.

The T-304 stainless steel we use
has the highest chromium content, making it the most resistant to corrosion and therefore the most desirable material for a long lasting exhaust system.

Please Note: Sometimes your Original equipment flanges will be used for installation, which are possibly not stainless.
