Unless your drag racing in the NHRA Diesel Nationals, I can't think of a difference.

In everyday driving, Aluminum is my choice.

Either is fine but if you are concern with temp wrap that sucker!

Of course with Alum you shouldn't be concern with rust.

Mine is polished stainless and mine is all marked up.

Next time it comes out I'm painting it with BBQ grill paint.
