Default Exhuast piping question?

Ok so a while back I went around getting prices for a catback system, anyways 2 places wanted 800 bucks for a stainless steal magnaflow catback dual exhuast, they also had a no name catback system made of aluminzed tubing, all mandrel bends for 300 bucks, what is aluminzed tubing, is $300 worth it?

It is kinda like a coating they put on bare steel to keep it from rusting, it lasts a little while, but it will eventually rust.

Honestly.... No, I would just buy a muffler and have them weld it in place of the factory one. A muffler is only like $50-$120 and for a shop to cut out the old one and weld in a new one is like $20-$50.....

Dual tips at least, no point in running true duals with my setup, probably rob more power then what it would make at this point
