"Well how do You know ? I have only been around cars for 10 years and
have not yet seen one truly corroded stainless."

I'm on my first SS system on my van now. Beautiful and durable, but they
rust and develop corrosion, just not nearly as fast as mild steel. Also
better
than the aluminized pipes I've had on this same van and others. The system
has been on for 2 yrs. 5 months at this point. I'm getting a new
engine in a month and that exhaust system will also be SS.
