Not a stalker, just read both threads fully and remember seeing that before.

this exhaust is actually made of T201 stainless, according to a vendor that returned my correspondence. t201 rusts quick as hell, i see why this is priced so low now. can anyone confirm?

If it’s magnetic, it’ll rust.

Quality stainless like 304 or 321 (not magnetic) cost more in raw materials than these systems retail for.

maybe there is something out there that you could coat an exhaust with since you live in denver?

Makes sense. Less chromium content if it’s magnetic no?

Frankly. I don’t think that would be worth it. It’ll probably delay the inevitable by a year or two

yeah i don't have alot of xp in that climate just spit balling really. I would just modify the oem catback if your really worried about rust, cut the res gives you a little better volume, minial drone, but it wont be as loud as a aftermarket catback

i was spitballing too. but i have seen mild steel take aluminum baths and it only delays the inevitable.

More Iron, less alloys in general.

Industry term for it is “Chinesium” since there’s a lot of debris and no real designation as to what it actually is.

lololol I think you are right about the TCR. It seems worth the wait. Also why don’t you like yours?

I think it’s more like “doing something for the sake of doing it”

I got to hear an akrapovic exhaust. That shit ruined me. I could not believe how good it sounded. It was just the axle back. But that’s like $2k
