I meant a dissimilar metals sort of problem. You know how when you connect copper pipe to steel you have to use a di-electric union or the copper will cause the steel to corrode. Since bronze has copper in it (I think) i thought it might start corroding your steel exhaust. Just a thought.

I am currently in a comprehensive welding course and oxydation is one of the main topics.
Bronze to steel is what is used in oxyacetelene brazing. Bronze brazing of steel and iron parts is a common practice. Very stong & very compatable.

As a footnote (something I didn't know & not related to the above), We all think of aluminum as rust proof but did you know aluminum begins to oxydize immediately. That's why aluminium alloys are anodized to increase corrosion resistance. A great examples are our forks & engine covers.
