Ok? so we have two different answers. Well i just looked under my 2000 F350 and it pretty well looks brand new? And I live in ontario canada, so there is tones of salt here. I was just wanting to figure out how long the aluminized stuff would last?

i was looking at getting a flowmaster turbo back system, it's is pretty reasonable cause it's aluminized steel? so i was thinking that if it's lasts as long as the stock exhasut it would be worth it. but i'm not sure what the stock is made outa.

4" SS straight piped(no muffler) MBRP system. I'm thinking your stock system
with a muffler delete pipe and the Aero unit will do much for u at a cheaper price.

Nut may be correct as I am going off of a quickie test I did on my system last year prior to the installation of my MBRP. I filed a clean spot off the pipe close to the BTM that I had installed along with another spot on one of the aftermarket hangers that was used to hang the BTM. Within 2 days the spot on the hanger had rusted over but the spot I had cleaned on the 3 1/2" pipe was still shiney... dirty but shiney.

Now if you're at all worried about exhaust temps then that stock downpipe needs to go. I know that doesn't apply to you but it did me with the stock system. Bottom line...why spend $200 + and still have an almost stock system? Didn't add up for me. JMO

I hate that drone and hopefully the Aero unit is going to eliminate 75% of it. If not i'm buying a flex coupler to install. Kind of experimenting for everyone's sake too.

the stock ehxaust it 409ss and im almost positive the stock downpipe is 3.5 because i dont remember any reducers from the 3.5 to the 3 inch downpipe. in my opinion it would be the best to buy $20 worth of tubing and straight pipe the stock exhaust. it will lower the egts more than the aeroturbine and you wont have any drone. at least i dont have any with my 4 inch straight pipe

There is a shadow on the right, but ID is definately 3.
