I was going to look into them as an option until I got the good price on the Manta. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mild steel will rust out a lot quicker if it's just sitting there rather than getting the condensation heated out of it regularly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know some people who drive all their cars really slow and carefully. Every single one of their cars except the diesel they've had to fit a new exhaust. Pretty happy with the stainless big xforce single my car rocks, it'd be about 5 years old. no 'rattles' nor does it drone. am bias though but I'm fussy with this sorta stuff.
