Concerned at the rising cost of stainless exhaust systems, AVO Turboworld has developed a range of affordable high quality, oven-baked high-temperature rust-inhibitor-coated mild/stainless steel exhaust systems.

The number one reason for buying a stainless steel exhaust system is longevity.

Which is fine – if the owner intends keeping a car for 20 years! Why else would you spend as much as $2000 or more on an exhaust? Of course, some may believe that people could crawl under their lowered car for a close look at the exhaust system, and let’s face it, it’d be terrible if all they saw was a mild steel system!

A realistic and just as effective alternative to a full stainless system would be thick-wall mild steel pipes coated in an oven-baked high-temperature rust inhibitor and capable of lasting a minimum of five years if not 10 years.

Well, AVO Turboworld claims to have exactly what the doctor ordered, what’s more, the retail price is at least 40% lower than full stainless.

What’s more, AVO’s new mild/stainless steel exhaust systems are designed for easy accurate fitment, they ensure a sporty note without pushing peak dB above acceptable limits, have the looks and could in fact be mistaken for a full stainless system.

Features of AVO’s cat-back range include:

• Mandrel bent 3" mild steel tubing.
• High quality welding and perfectly sized flanges.
• Oven-baked high-temperature rust inhibitor coating with two-year warranty.
• Supplied with everything needed for easy installation by either an exhaust fitter or car owner.
• Includes resonators and high quality full stainless steel muffler (normally if a system is to be affected by rust, the muffler goes first) backed with a highly polished 4 ½" tip.
• Provides a meaty note without exceeding legal noise limits.
• Priced at between $800 and $900 for cat back.
• Currently available to suit Nissan R33 GTR, Subaru WRX, Nissan 200SX S14 and S15 with more coming on stream soon.

Inexpensive mild steel mandrel bent exhaust systems are available from AVO or through their comprehensive Australia wide dealer network. For details, contact.
