aluminum is lighter and more resistant to rusting than normal steel, but will rust (oxidize)..
stainless is heavier but way more resistant then aluminum to rusting..and stronger too

if i could i'd stainless my whole system..

if i remember correctly, the timeframe for aluminized steel to rust is around the 4-5 year mark..... and stainless should be around 10-15....... i went with stainless, but it's friggin heavy compared to aluminized steel.

side note.... i've held a JIC titanium catback and that whole system is lighter than my muffler alone... heehee.......
