Hey, just got my civy so it looks like this is gonna be more forum site.. i was reading around and somethin i started to notice when people are asking what kinda cat back or full exhaust systems they should get.. noone is mentioning to get stainless steel or galvanized..some people might not care but i think for people new to the car tunning world, they should know the difference. The problem (besides little flow) with stock exhaust on cars is how easy the exhaust systems rust. me growing up in cleveland, i know how much salt can damage a car. when you buy a new exhaust system, youv pretty much got 2 choices, aluminized steel or stainless steel. stainless steal is gonna have a bit more of a price on it but i think its worth it in the end, better quality too because its much harder to rust. now if youv got the ability and you dont live in a really salt infested area during the winter, aluminized aint that bad, all you gotta do is just about every year through it up on a lift and re pain the metal to keep it from rusting. if some one has talked about this before then i musta missed it but i thought i you just point that out.

 

i havent seen anyone point that out. thanks! thats a good point. and yet another reason to go for th eGreddy SP2 and EVO 2 we always seem to recommend.

 

good point, something for people to think about. also weight.

 

i was gonna say that but i havnt really felt any difference between the two even tho i know its there

 

stainless looks nicer and lasts a hell of a lot longer. its worth every extra penny
