Perfect Fit! and very easy to fit due to the perfect fit, however it has rusted twice on a 1997 Nissan Pathfinder since first purchased in early 2013. So SS stands for "Stainless Steel" but it's badly corroded so the resonator has come loose. out of the pipe and the pipe has rusted through on both sides of the flange. To be honest this is a known problem with Pathfinders as condensation doesn't completely clean the exhaust system but I thought the 'lifespan' of stainless steel meant it, but that's not the case. Still a great deal for a snug fit if your car isn't known for going through exhaust systems.
