Jim, when I was redoing my car I talked with these people also, very good
and helpful, but, I decided to go with stainless steel, already prebent, and
all fittings in place, was just a bolt up operation, and looks very nice. I
also think S/S will not only last longer, but, no metal contamination from
the fluids down the road, not so with steel/brass, more expensive yes.
