Troy et al., I've been wading through piles of "stainless might be bad"
junk. (which can be summarized by saying if it's not touching other
metal and you've got fresh coolant you're probably okay.)

Did you ever get a response/make a decision for stainless steel coolant
pipes re: Bus Depot vs. Terry K vs. Rocky Mtn Westy pipes?  (I hear
GoWesty and Van-Cafe sell customized RMW pipes?)  I think the BD pipes
are thinner (they are cheaper, especially the 1.25" ones!), but are
thick enough.  I'm more concerned about fit.

Thanks,

Will in Alaska.

I'm going to go with the two-piece for obvious reasons. I have a Subaru conversion, so the extra bend that Go Westy has in their pipes has no particular appeal. I have heard other people having to make bends after they received the pipe, and that's not something I want to do. Terry K's are the most expensive, but most people seem to like his work. Comments?
