If you can fork out the extra couple of bucks, I, too, would go with stainless.

If you don't DD your car then I wouldn't worry about the SS catback.

I had a Mac catback back a few years ago. It looked brand new when I pulled it off. It even was DD in the rain and all. I want another mac catback so bad. I would trade my SLP straight up

Mine's been on over a year now and looks as good as the day I put it on......the car doesn't see any rain/snow/salt though. It comes out of the garage on the nice days.

I'm right there with you dude. I'm in the process of searching for my pieces. Hell, if I can, I'd even go with a 3" MAC catback if I could find one. I could careless if I lose a little power... the sound of the MAC is too great to pass up no matter the size of the piping LOL.

BTW... who the **** makes H-pipes anymore? Lmao... I don't feel like shelling out $500 for an MRT h-pipe.

EDIT: I see Summit makes one. I wonder what the quality is like.

I'm looking for an O/R h-pipe. I got all giggity when I saw that JBA made a stainless h-pipe for like $175 only to find out it's made to fit their midlengths. FML.
