Aluminized vs stainless

[brownz]

I would like to know some opinions on the two, the car will not see the bad weather and money like always is a factor but not if I have a lot to gain from stainless, I have two quotes 500 for aluminized and 1300 for stainless both installed. This is not a show car and will be driven as mush as I can.

Is the extra money worth it?

Are you talkin about exhaust??? Aluminized and bbq paint! I always try to do things on the cheap....lol

Is it worth it? Not in my (check)book. Spending 500 on exhaust is bad enough, let alone almost tripling the cost for something no one will see anyway. If this car is a Ridler contender then I quess you need to ante-up but, if you plan to drive it I am sure you will want to make changes down the road. Aluminized is cheaper, yes, but it also makes it easier to change things up and not have worry about throwing 1300 bucks out the window. Just my take on it.

Aluminized is fine...just find a good guy to bend it.

We use stainless at the shop here but we do it with mandrel bends and weld it all up. This allows us to put exhaust in places no exhaust shop can.
