MBRP...Stainless VS Aluminized???

Just about to buy an exhaust system for the EX..7.3 diesel when the shop told me has better luck with the Aluminized sysyem because it is a thicker gauge. The stainless is more money and has cracked on a couple. No difference in performance. Please advise before I buy.. Thanks guys....

I have MBRP 4" on my V10 aluminized, we used the clamps provided and also tack welded it where the pipe fits. Had it for almost a year and a half with no problems. If you want it to last a bit longer use some high temp paint over the welds. It will help prevent corrosion. Also check the clamps a couple days later.
