Hey, I know from owning a Corvette '69 for years that you BUY SS exhaust if you drive the car and it's not a trailer queen.
SS lasted longer than two years and still has as of yet to be replaced.
Same thing with the SS sleeves in the brake calipers (for corvettes that is)
It's just all around worth the extra $ to not have to do it again in 4-5 years.
