I am going to pick up a 304 stainless cross over pipe from Heath diesel for $100 ($20 over the cost of a regular steel pipe). So rust and cracking wont be a problem.
The rest of the system is cast iron exhaust manifolds and the turbo charger.
I am adding a turbo to an originally non turbo vehicle so I get to decide the charistics of every nut, bolt and pipe going into it.
Plus I have an oil and water proof exhaust pipe cover. The only way I can discribe it is if some one were to take a 4 foot long fiber glass sock and coated it with high temperature orange RTV. Its not hand made and I don't know who makes this item because I salvaged it out of a scrap metal pile off from a flexable exhaust pipe that had the ends rusted off it.
I got the feeling that I would be able to use it some day as soon as I saw it.
I also have a good size collection of mostly free used exhaust wrap.
