I am wanting to know what the main reason for me to get the SS test pipe rather than the alum. Is there a performance difference? Sound? Quality? I have a bad cat and am going to replace it (Somehow it got punctured from the underside-one of the slats is bent in, and the performance seems to have gone down-I've also had an EGR code). The rest of the exhaust system is stock 2000 SVT. I am also concidering the MSDS w/y pipe in the near future. Any suggestion on why one over the other?

SS 8-10 yrs/alum. 3-5yrs. Difference is longevity of the product. -tropictour 2000 Contour SVT Tropic Green SHO Shop CAI Bassani 1999 Contour SE BAT Kit

Thank you very much for the help! i dont understand y u guys gotta try and rip him a new a$$hole at least give him a proffesional response , geeze anyways SS will usually not rust through, it will get a coating of rust but that can easily be taken off by sand paper and privide a better sound IMHO Aluminum will rust after a while and will give off somewhat of a hollow tone b/c it is a diff metal Last edited by bobbyd; 07/20/05 04:40 AM. 1997 30th Anniversary SS,Jethotts/ORY/GMMG, 160thermo, ,TB bypass, 1LE intake elbow, BMR STB, 32mmswaybar..21mm rear,BMR LCAs, PR,SFCs,TA,LT4 KM,255lph, shift kit

It shows consideration to search before you ask a question thats been answered countless times so that those who have answered it countless times do not have to continually repeat themselves. 1996 Contour SE 3.0 <Alternate Site on CarDomain>

There is lots of info here. And I just wanted to let him know before someone did give him hell for not searching. Oh yeah and have a nice day. -tropictour 2000 Contour SVT Tropic Green SHO Shop CAI Bassani 1999 Contour SE BAT Kit
