Message	but everyone i've talked to says the carbon in the co2 will mix with the stainless and contaminate it and it will rust where its contaminated. its fairly easy to contaminate stainless; on my manifold on my honda i can tell where i tack'd it down its rusted a little; and then one spot where i grinded it some carbon steel got in there and there is some slight rust --------------------------------------------------- AIM= Honda Of Fury
