CBXRT Banned 643 Member For: 13y 9m 28d Gender: Male Posted 21/01/12 06:02 AM Share Posted 21/01/12 06:02 AM (edited) I'd be going at least twin 2.5".. From having both mild and stainless systems on an NA XT and a WRX.. I'd be choosing mild to the rear muffler and stainless for looks from there..Absolutely agree.Ive tried both types from XRT, HSV, GTR and RS Liberty (sounds gay, but this fridge hammered and sounded good!! ha ha) and IMO mild steel gives a better note, far better value for money.But like all these threads, its extremely dependant on owner - people pay 300K and love a Ferarri 8 or 12 note - I think many are way too high-pitched and awful, so each to their own :sungum: Edited 21/01/12 06:03 AM by CBXRT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I by all my tube from tube sales in Brisbane, I only use 304L or 304TL Any other stainless will crack due to the larger amounts of chromiuim in it. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What full system would you choose based on over all improvements to performance that each system offers .( MILD or STAINLESS ) ?? . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this helpsDoesnt 316 have less chromium than 304. Why not use 409 ferritic it has less chromium again. Might not look as pretty though.
