Re: Budget VS Longevity; Stainless Mufflers & Exhausts
One problem with stainless is it will rust anywhere it comes in contact with a ferric iron / steel. So you need to make sure your hangars, mufflers etc are all stainless. AND TIG weld or at least MIG with stainless wire. Food grade stainless is purged of air on the inside, then TIG'd. Keeps the inside of the weld as pretty as the outside. You'd be surprised how the inside turns out of not 'process' welded like this.
Is it worth the $ and effort???? ,, IMO ABSOLUTELY if your willing to spend to do it right. If for no other reason than that 'ring' of an exhaust note that seems to come from a stainless system. Have 3" stainless borla's on 2 vehicles now.
