Looking very good. I've been trying to find those headers everywhere so I can have a full stainless exhaust.

Re: ScottyRock's quest for 100% stainless exhaust
how badly did you beat the crap out of the floor to fit the mufflers? I ask because the ground clearance looks decent

Re: ScottyRock's quest for 100% stainless exhaust
outside of rust prevention, what benefit does having full stainless have?

The mufflers are in a nice spot, I am happy with how it looks and sounds

Just rust protection. I am in the Virginia Army National Guard, and go on 15 month deployments and don't want to replace an exhaust after every deployment, so I went stainless

under the hood, they stay looking pretty a lot longer than coated.

As for with the catback, it's rust prevention. Any new vehicle worth its salt today has a stainless system and that includes Corollas, Hyundais etc.

Re: ScottyRock's quest for 100% stainless exhaust
Rust protection and appearance, what more do you want or expect from a nice exhaust setup, lol? Only other thing I can think of is heat retention, namely in the engine bay, but that requires titanium or exhaust wrap.

Re: ScottyRock's quest for 100% stainless exhaust
Other than rust protection, stainless steels are ever so slightly heavier than mild steel. Not much to really make a difference tho, just about 2.5% if using 304 steel
