Title: Exhaust.. Mild or stainless ? Post by: surferboy on February 01, 2013, 08:15:37 PM Just looking for opinions
The wagon is due for a replacement exhaust system it has a 2" rusty steel one at the moment from the extractors attached to the 202 motor to the chrome tip under the rear bumper Is there a big advantage to stainless ? Quoted $300 for mild and $500 for stainless (with a triflow(?) muffler for slightly sporty sound or baffled muffler for quiet... I prefer quiet) Is the $200 difference worth it ? surferboy 8) 8) 8) (he who knows as much about exhausts as he does about any other mechanical bit of his car ::)) Title: Re: Exhaust..

Stainless gives extra long life but a new steel exhaust will last a long time on a fairly regularly used vehicle.
