Yeah for the long term I'm thinking the stainless will be best but I rarely drive it in the winter so the Dynomax may not be a bad option just because I found one for quite a bit cheaper. I really like the tips too!

It's not just winter, using your AC creates condensation, rain, etc.

I bought the dynomax and I drive this car in the winter. Simply do what I did and buy 2,000 degree engine clearcoat and spray the hell out of the system before installing it. theres your protective layer.

Still doesn't protect the inside.

Could you elaborate a little more on how the A/C affects the exhaust system? I'm not being a jerk either, I had just never heard of this before. Does it drip on the exhaust or something?

Ever drive behind someone using the Air Conditioner? You always see water coming out of their exhaust pipes. Which means there is water in the pipes, and we all know what water does.

That's not the case. It means that your car is working exactly as it should. The catalytic converter contains a ceramic component coated with a catalyst. A catalyst is something that causes a chemical reaction without being part of the reaction. The catalyst agent is coated on a ceramic honeycomb structure or on small ceramic beads. As exhaust gas flows through the converter, the catalyst agent causes a chemical reaction to take place, converting harmful exhaust gases to harmless ones. When HC (hydrocarbons) and CO (carbon monoxide) gases are exposed to hot surfaces inside the converter that are coated with platinum, the HC and CO combine with oxygen to become Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and WATER (H2O).
