KB's piping was mild steel and came with nitrile connectors and standard hose clamps.

You wouldn't want Alum, would you?? We use it as a backer when welding S/S because it absorbs sooo much heat, I wouldnt think you would want that as piping because it would soak up that heat. S/S is the only way to fly, well or Titanium!!!

but you could always wrap it with some type of exhaust headers wrap or something which is something I would do anyhow. It doesnt look all that great but who the f#ck cares?
