Work in a salvage yard for awhile, you will see what is quality and what will last 1,000,000 miles. Nothing is going to last that long. Not even stainless steel.

Also, just took off my "quality stainless steel" exhaust and threw it in a junk car, enough of that. It was my last purchase of a pre fab exhaust system. Everything will be custom built from now on. Now the truck has all stainless steel exhaust under it, aside from the powder coated muffler.

Last setup I had like this, including the powder coating, last 275,000 miles on my yankee snow belt driven truck that I had in PA. The exhaust still looked like new when I sold it. I figure thats pretty dagum good.

anywho not trying to start an argument here, just making a point. I am out.

why would u say that if it ate up a flowmaster it will eat up anything? flowmaster suck, they arent stainless and they arent anything to brag about considering most of them will rob power after a while instead of increasing it. Do you know of a full stainless flowmaster setup that im unaware of?

they quickly rot out in snowy weather.... my buddy has a borla on his yukon and has had it for 3 yrs with no signs of rot.... ive had my flowmaster for 1 1/2 yrs and its a POS!. I didnt even like the sound of it when it was new... to much noise in the cab and the sound is very loose. i know this setup i just got will sharpin the tone, sound crisp, and disperse very little resonace in cab or non at all. and i should gain some minute power and torque gains as well.
