Mild Steel vs Stainless Steel - Toyota Yaris Forums

Most exhaust shops use alumnized tubing, not mild steel.

I wouldn't wast money on stainless. You can just paint the mild steel or alumnized steel as stated above.

What kind of paint is needed to do this? Any high heat paint or is there something specifically for exhaust?

Use a heat shield paint, most automotive parts suppliers will stock it.
