ss or aluminized exhaust
I know ss will last forever, but how well does the aluminized hold up and is it worth the extra money for ss. I have a 2000 psd and the exhaust still looks like it would last a long time. Not even sure what stock exhaust is made of to be honest.

I figure if I am going to replace a factory part, it should be as good or better. I went with stainless mainly because of the chemicals they use on the roads in a Colorado winter.

Hate to thread jack but I think it will fit well, where did you guys get your exhaust from? I've seen some good deals online but not sure who to trust. I was looking at the magnaflow just for the price, any other recommendations? Oh by the way, I live in CA so I'll be getting aluminized steel as there is no salt on the roads or anything like that here.

I paid $400 for my SS Silverline system. There was no reason to get the aluminized when the SS was so close in price. (I am with the guy that said he would want to UPGRADE his exhaust)
Go on eBay and hit the OBO "auctions" You can your stuff there pretty cheap. There were about five guys who bought the Magnaflow setup a week or two ago. I would post a new thread and hunt these guys up. They probably are getting their systems/have them installed by now. This way you can find somem info out about them. (I would like to know, too)

OK thanks. I was just wondering if it took like 4 cans at $12 then I would probalby just go with SS. But $16 wont be too bad. And I have seen your response to painting your pipes a million times 
I will make sure its rated for 1200*
Thanks again
