exhaust metal

Aluminum will not rust , Bad answer, Aluminum will distort or melt at lower tempts than stainless steel. Rotory engine exhaust is hotter than a piston engine exhaust . The standard exhaust materal for most piston cars ( aluminized steel thin wall tubeing ) will not last long at the higher temps the rotor engine puts out . Show me rusted Aluminum . Rust is iron oxide .

I agree that rust was not a good reason not to use aluminum (since it doesn't rust), but it does corrode. That corrosion may be as good a reason as any not to use it. It also expands too much under heat and would melt or at least get soft (and probably severely distort) at exhaust temperatures.
