Message	I don't know much about metals, so I would like to know why I never hear of any aluminum exhausts? Sure, it's difficult to weld. It corrodes easily at high temperatures, and it has a high expansion coefficient. (Maybe the aluminum can be treated with some heat resistant "stuff") People talk a lot about saving weight, a cat back aluminum exhaust wouldn't weigh much.
