That Great Lakes climate with rain, sleet, snow and worst of all, road salt; Stainless steel mufflers last about two years. It arrived in two days with shipping at a much better price than buying from local parts stores. It's almost perfect; The intake pipe and suspensions matched perfectly, but the exhaust pipe was too short to reach the rear bumper. I had to buy an extra chrome exhaust tip to extend the pipe under the bumper. Otherwise it's a good deal and well worth the extra money to last a few more years.
