XYZ Donating Members 1,171 Member For: 15y 5m 14d Posted 17/01/10 02:29 AM Share Posted 17/01/10 02:29 AM Hey Guys,About to get a new exhaust for my FG and trying to decide between getting stainless or Mild Steel System. (I will be getting a stainless dump and cat for the Mild steel system as well)Appart from stainless lasting longer, what are the main advantages between both systems? I have been told the Mild system will sound a little better as the stainless system can sound a little tinny. What is everyones preference?Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just comes down to dollars or personal choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a twin 2.5" redback mild. they are cheap enough to just get another if it doesnt last as long as a stainless one?.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its usually the mufflers that rot out before the pipe goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeh, stainless is definitely the better option. Obviously, it just comes down to whether you want to spend the money.. so I'm with turbotrana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
