Sorry guys, but I am going to have to disagree. Where do you think the heat is dissipating too? Maybe the coolest area around, which would be the air inside the IC pipe? Those all out drag cars the IC pipes are not near the exhaust, like on a DSM and weight is most important on them. A 3000 lb DSM, saving 15 lbs on IC piping isn't going to do squat.
I do agree that there are good and bad points to both sides. The SS is heavier but the Al heat soaks more. Which is better? It is probably pretty damn close between the 2. Very thin SS is probably the best for a DSM.
