Default making my own turbo kit

Living in good ol new england you think id be able to get away with aluminum piping on my turbo kit ill e d up making mainly just tge driver side to pass log from kb. Then all the cold side stuff. I was going to have it all ceramic coated . Woukd that plus exhaust wrap be enough to inhibit rust. Id do tig and ss. Buttt I cant weld that and dont have the means too.

header wrap will only make the rust worse. It holds in moisture.

Do you drive in crappy weather? If so I vote SS or nothing...

Ive seen way too many aluminized exhaust systems fall to pieces to use anything else.
