Drew seriously go with the flowmasters, like KKK said if your not running in the winter and salt you will be just fine. One thing that causes rot more than that is when peopl estart there car up and theres water vapor in the system and then shut it down while its still cold… they rot from the inside out… Super 44’s sound awsome… I had one on the Z last season… it sounded great except for when I hit about 5 grand lol… then the v6 sound came out and Borlas are overpriced you can get a super 44 for 80-90 bucks shipped if you look around a bit… I payed 80 shipped for mine ---

my mufflers are not bad. theyre super light(because theyre as long as your hand) and have a nice flow, thing is, i’m told those are basically truck mufflers so theres that highway drone. ---
