If you're not experienced with aluminum, have a shop handle the joints. The black finish should be cleaned or sanded before welding for best results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this pipe handle high-temperature exhaust, or is it intake-only?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMounting method and temperature rating are not specified — confirm your application before purchase. For exhaust systems with sustained high heat, verify that aluminum tolerances work for your setup.
