I'm thinking about using mild steel for I/C tubing, have any of you guys used it before?

I'm guessing it would be fine because of the turbo naturally letting a little oil by to coat the inside of the tubing?

it's an option but it's twice as much and I'm not sure it's worth it. Plus any 3" leftovers I can use on my exhaust

i made my own, for the first time, on the 20b. and steel was easy to work with and cheap. the plan was to use aluminum later but i think i'm too lazy to do that

So I take it you're using exhaust piping on it now then mike?
