I went with stainless steel for a few reasons.
1 Already had some of it on hand, I bought about 40 feet of used 2 inch 316SS steam pipe for exhaust pipe projects.
2 Stainless is very weldable.
3 The pipe fittings were only marginally more expensive than steel or iron fittings plus bushings I would have needed to make it work from lowes.
4 Getting the pipe fittings off ebay I could get them in the size I need, eliminating the need for bushings.
5 It looks cool.
