Why?
The material is harder to work with than traditional stainless steel.

A 3.5 - 4" downpipe...that is pretty big...do you need one that big? What size is your exhaust piping? Because if you end up having to use a reducer to match the size of a 3" exhaust for example...

I wouldn't worry about anything other than being able to get a good weld without the right setup you'll be pulling out your hair.
