Title: stock exhaust manifold material?
Post by: bevans6 on November 19, 2010, 12:03:47 PM
Does anyone know what type of tubing/steel is used in stock detroit diesel manifolds, the tubular ones that run from the cast iron manifolds across the engine to the turbo?

The tubing portions of the turbo piping are mild steel(low carbon) They are best welded W/Oxy acetlene
MIG being a second choice . The expantion bellows I think are stainless , MIG , TIG , mild steel or stainless rod
