Aluminized Vs. Stainless

[sacket]

What is the difference between the two as far as over expectation? I got aluminized (MBRP 4" Turbo back) because of availability at the time. Will I regret it?

Obviously the aluminized was cheaper. SS will hold up longer especially if you are doing short trips.

basically the aluminized would rust and the SS should not. MBRP has had 2 diferent grades of SS one better than the other as far as rust resistance.

In my opinion the lower grade (409 SS) isn't worth the money. If you are going to get stainless go with the 304.

Thanks for the info, I have had the aluminized on for 6-8 months and haven't noticed anything wrong thus far. I wasn't that familiar with the different exhaust when I purchased it. Now that I find out more I am thinking I should have shopped around a bit more.

I have Aluminumized MBRP, been on for 2 1/2 years it still looks ok, not rusty yet.

if you drive regularly and dont always leave it parked for long lenghts of time over grass or dirt, you should get plenty of time out of it.

I completly agree, I got have 409 stainless & its completely rusted after only a couple years, I should have saved some money & bought the aluminized
