AFE 5 inch material question

I see that AFE has a 5inch dpf back pipe which is really all i need. But i see they have a stainless steel and then an aluminized steel which is cheaper. What’s the difference? Material quality? What can go wrong w the alumized that can’t with the stainless?

You can do some research online for that.
