like I said , it takes years for it to corrode\rust. I have talked to a couple of aftermarket exhaust fabers who told me this. I will trust a couple of experts who said the same thing over some wikipedia site. it doesn't explain exhaust and daily enviroments exposed to this everyday. go stainless cause you won't have to worry about that **** and you can always get a great polish from steel

just like the expert techs at gm right....lol..i was stating the fact that it is steel...not only that but when people that live in snow...and sleet and rain...and salt streets...and they say it works...i'll take there word over a techs word that may be waiting u to buy stainless from them
angelo your not running the a steel are you? if you are that is the only reason why you are defending it. I would admit if I bought something shitty or not as good.

yea im running it..and i didnt buy anything shitty or not as good..stainless is expensive and for how much i switch up exhaust not worth it to me...theres nothing special about the inside of the piping that gives u more power...lol...so not as good would be an incorrect statement...the only part that matters is the muffler part and if ur piping is true 2.5 or 3 inch (whatever u choose) or not...the reason i am defending it is so people dont get ripped off and they get CORRECT proven facts on stuff...not someones OPINION

It is not **** just not as good. but from what I have heard is that steel will last longer and that should be a given.

well i found out that the TSUDO N1 CATBACK EXHAUST SYSTEM guy selling them on ebay has 1 left in stock and he told me $240 shipped and wondering if i should just get this or go with alumized steel with a borla muffler.
well i live in dallas, texas so we hardly ever see snow or salt. Maybe once a year and its just srinkles and by noon its gone.
