He said that the reason why people are told to get stainless steel exhaust is that it makes it rust proof. But that you can put a rust proof additive in the water (gasoline also has a rust proof additive). I am not 100% clear what he means. Hopefully his photos will explain.
I understand the concept - but I need the schematics too. I mean, it makes sense in theory.
I think he meant you have to have a way to seperate oxygen from hydrogen (hydrogen is lighter than oxygen) and the oxygen gets pushed out through your exhaust. Again, he said he will post pics of his project (and another person is paying a mechanic to do this to his car and will also distribute the plans once it is completed).
Believe me, all the forum members are holding these guys to it.

Ok that's fine. No big hurry. I can always look around for info anyway. Yes, Hydrogen is lighter than Oxygen. Remember Hindenburg Blimp in 1940's that caught on fire, It use Hydrogen gas to make it float.
I am well aware that gasoline or any additive treated the pipe with coating. BUT over the time, water deposit may wear out coating and rust through. Stainless steel would be nice but cost money unless you know how to weld stainless steel together as a manifold.
