   Hi peeps i have just bought a s/s scorpion imola 3.5" backbox this weekend and next im wanting a race centre section but my question is this?
   Which shall i get cos i have just noticed cam racing has released there own race centre section and its stainless steel where as supersprints is aluminised...which should i get? Im going to be getting a 4-2-1 s/s manifold aswell so should i get all s/s system or mix it up with the aluminised centre section? What it be a different noise with them being different materials or not?
   
   Cheers,Sean

   I'd get the stainless steel version myself. Not sure if you get rusting on the aluminised steel version.

   Its basically steel coated in aluminium. As long as the aluminium is not breached - say by scrapping it badly, its as good as stainless steel.
   But then stainless will last longer whatever happens....

   so kam is there any difference in noise when fitted between the 2?...thinking of getting the stainless steel as my backbox is s/s and so will my manifold...then its a full s/s system.
