Stupid exhaust question

I am wondering what my factory exhaust system is made out of? Stainless, aluminized steel, steel. I am thinking about going aftermarket and wondering which route to take. Thanks.

your factory set up is alluminized. I would go with the stainless on an aftermarket one though

Are you saying go with stainless because the alluminized will rot away?

i think for the price difference it is a better choice to do stainless. it won't rust like the alluminized will. I have priced out some exhaust systems and for the extra $100 or so I think it is better to go with the stainless and be done with it.

The factory exhaust is stainless steel. If I were to change it, I would go stainless, although depending on the weather conditions where you live and how long you plan on keeping the truck, aluminized would be fine.
