Default Difference between these two same-model exhausts?

Hi, I'm looking to get one of these flowmaster 50 series cat-backs. Apparently there is 2 versions of the flowmaster 50s, one is $100 more expensive than the other. The only difference I can tell from the description is that the more expensive one has "stainless steel OEM style tips." Does this mean that the whole system is stainless steel and the $100 less system is aluminum or something?

I have been assuming that the $100 more is just for the tips. I would appreciate it if you could check out the two different systems and see if you know the difference.

Flowmaster 50 series ($437.00) - Looks aluminum??


Flowmaster 50 series ($537.00) - Looks steel??

Also, the more expensive one looks like it has welded joints and just looks like a higher quality.

Thank you.

Do you think it is also steel piping and the other one is aluminum?

nope, both kits are aluminized steel. The only difference is the more expensive one has stainless tailpipes. Honestly if you're gonna spend $400-500 i wouldn't get flowmasters.

i think you will probably be disappointed with the 50 series.

if you really want flows you should check out the super 44s.
