Aluminum exhaust?
Okay so the other day I was checking out this video of Bisimoto's new 700whp 1.6L SOHC Honda civic wagon.
This guy is famous in the honda world for his honda insight drag car that runs in the 9's with a N/A SOHC 2.2L.
But anyway, In the video he says that it has a full aluminum exhaust system. At which point I was like "wtf", I always thought that aluminum would fatigue at those temperatures. Im wondering if maybe its just aluminum from the DP back or something.

Jason made my mid pipe from aluminum, from after the "cat" section.* Much cheaper and side benefit of also being lighter.
*The downpipe is SS, the first section of the mid pipe is SS, which has a resonator impersonating a bullet cat. The resonator is band-clamped to the aluminum mid pipe. This won't cook the cabin and has no dissimilar expansion rates problems as far as I can tell.
