to be accurate, i said "rusty" as opposed to rusted out. not all stainlesses are completely stainless.
304 is good. 409 rusts. 304 is more expensive (and probably harder to work).
I think that one reason stebro is so reasonably priced is that they use an inexpensive alloy. fwiw, the exhaust tip is not rusty - maybe because of the oil/soot all over it.
The system has lasted quite a while, its just not a pretty sight (although certainly no worse looking than a regular mild steel system).
