304 expands around four times as much as mild steel.. id be worried mixing metals with different expansion rates could cause early failure.. i was planning on running my exhaust in 316l sch 10 i had but more i thought about having to tear into it to repair it i went with carbon and a weld that would pass in a nuke plant haha
