Whats the difference between aluminized steel and stainless steel exhausts?
Both materials have the same performance characteristics. The main differences (besides price) are in, corrosion resistance, and appearance. Aluminized steel exhausts are inexpensive, but tend to corrode much more quickly than stainless steel. Aluminized steel is best suited to vehicles in warm, dry climates, where they won’t be exposed to rain, snow, or salt. Even then aluminized system rust out from the inside due to condensation.
