Put simply, Empire Performance stainless is the highest quality material used in the auto exhaust game when strength, corrosion resistance and performance are at the top of your list of priorities.Įmpire Performance exhausts are exclusively constructed from high quality corrosion resistant stainless steel. In fact, with Empire Performance piping, the ferrous metal content is so low that magnets won’t stick to it, making the comparison against inferior ferrous stainless steel very easy. Because of its low ferrous content, it can develop a golden colour when exposed to high heat over time. Ferrous stainless steel (high iron content) is used by many manufactures due to its medium strength, formability and very low cost.Įmpire Performance uses corrosion resistant austenitic stainless steel for performance exhausts because of its strength and the fact it is highly resistant to rusting. The corrosion resistance of your exhaust depends on the content of chromium and nickel found in the alloy. Significant differences exist between the metals that make one better for performance exhaust applications than the other. Tired of your mild steel exhaust systems rusting out after a year or less? Time to shop for a stainless steel system? In comparison cheaper press bending from other manufacturers squashes the tube as it is bent, reducing flow. Mandrel bending involves placing a mandrel inside the piping, before it is bent to shape. All Empire Performance Exhausts feature: Mandrel Bent PipingĮmpire Performance exhausts comprise of mandrel bent, stainless pipe work, delivering uncompromising flow, performance, and sound.
