I hear that all the time about the in cab drone and making the car more raspy, Ive never had a problem with either of these?? IDK, if so many people DO have this problem, maybe keep it on or get a shorter one?

According to Amazon: Durable fully welded 409 stainless steel
I would look to try to find 304 Stainless Steel, the 409 will develop surface rust easily (though it won't fully rust through, it will still look ugly) Most exhaust system use 409 SS piping, and 304 SS resonator, mufflers, and tips

Those are aluminized. That's not even stainless steel, those will rust the first winter you have them.

Our you can get aluminized steel mufflers and paint them with high heat exhaust paint. That is exactly what we did with my dynomax system And it's held up well. Just recently did we touch up the welds that were starting to rust through the paint.

I wonder why this is^^^ Some of us have the same in cab some dont I guess, maybe it has somthign to do with the mufflers??
And about those flowmasters, I know I said I dont like them, but I was assuming you were not gonna be looking for the louder ones. I do however think hte agressive soundign flows are decent, its gonna be kinda loud though. Make sure the cops arent asses around you. Also, a little tip about cops messing with you about the loudness, all you need to tell tehm is your car is quieter than a harley, and a motorcycle's DB level is legaly supposed to be less than that of a vehicle. In other words, by law, a car can be louder than these loud *** motorcyles.
Another thing, if you end up going with the downpipe with those flows, youre gonna have some NICE sounds comming out the back of your car
