The rsuting that you have to be worried about is from the inside out. Water(condensation from exhaust heat) sits inside of chambered mufflers and eats its way through(the aluminized ones).

Yeah, they seem to have a little more ***** than flows if you ask me. It's close but flows always seem to have a tinny sound to me that the Mac doesn't have. I think you'd like them.
Mac parts are stainless if you buy them stainless, they just give you an option and too many people are cheap so most stores just stock the aluminized coated pipes. However yes, the coating does prevent rusting... to an extent. Depending on the conditions you drive your car in regularly, a non-stainless exhaust may last you anywhere from a few years to maybe up to ten years if you rarely drive it in the rain. My car is a DD and I don't like being cheap so I just put up a little more now and got the stainless version and wont have to worry about exhaust on this car again.

I know that mac isn't stainless, but does the coating prevent rusting?

But that's why I say it depends. Salt can eat away at those cheap pipes fast and they'll be done in just a few years, lots of rain but no salt and they'll last a little longer, but they'll always eventually rust from the water inside. Get stainless and the pipes will last longer than your car.

Where did you get the stainless mac system? I've looked on summit & american muscle and have never seen an entire stainless mac system (just tips).

I would probably get an o/r H and LTs to go with the stingers but that will be way down the road.
