I am looking into a new system and wanted to hear from others about the differences between a stainless steel vs a mild steel systems. I understand that stainless tend to last longer but am hearing that stainless steel systems can sound a bit tinny. What have others found? Are there any other differences?
Hi,
Most modern cars will have a s/s system till at least the cat from factory. As for the rest, I personally wouldn't bother.
Advantages of s/s: won't rust (as quick), it's apparantly cool to have one
Advantages of m/s: usually has a better exhaust "note", a lot cheaper, will still get good life out of it (keep it clean and try to stop dirt build up). Better thermal conductivity, slightly lighter.
Used to have a bit to do with them at a previous job and think s/s is wank value in most cases.
