If for this reason alone, I wouldn’t buy one.

I had a Garrett core on the DSM, and through a few salty PA winters, the thing looked brand new, sans some nicks in the polished tanks. My buddy’s eBay core was imploding after a few winter months. It’s still on the car (he isn’t too big into the performance scene,) but it’s so brittle.
