I can't speak for commodores but my old mans charger had the exact same system, pacies into twin 2.5 pipes no mufflers or cats, in mild steel then in stainless.
The stainless sounds wayyy better IMO

mild allways sounds better stainles has a ping to it and sound seams to eminate through the pipe walls a lot .a well built mild system with the pipe seam not at the bottom of the pipe lengths will last 10 years with ease

Especially done with 2 1/2" aluminized 2mm wall tubing. But only custom made stuff is 2mm wall, off the shelf use 1.6mm and cheap systems use 1.2mm.

For the price you paid stainless was well worth it. It's all personal choice. Are you happy with the sound?
