I was actually looking at your set up for my other truck, a 2003 Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi and your full exhaust is probably the best I have ever seen on the market. When I replace my exhaust on my Ram, I'm going for your full exhaust with duals.

All stainless, including the band clamps, with a lifetime warranty delivered to my door for $389.

I'm laughing at the thought of paying money to put on 400-series stainless. That's like buying a Ford Ranger when you really want an F-150. Sure it's a Ford, sure it's a truck but it isn't an F-150. That's the same way I feel about stainless. I know quality exhausts when I see them. I've seen the some of the top brands for exotics such as Kreissieg and Akrapovic and you won't see any of them use 400-series stainless. It's either 304, 321, titanium or Inconel. I don't put crap on my truck, if I wanted crap then I'd just keep my half *** rotten Dynomax. I've done plenty of research on what exhausts to put on, I simply prefer Corsa, Borla and B&B since all of their products are a minimum of 300-series stainless. There are no "economy" exhausts that use 409 and "upgrade" exhausts that use 300. To me, a kick *** company sells only kick *** exhausts.

The XP series is a 409 Stainless which is way better than mild steel but does not have the same zero-rust properties of 304 that the OP was after. 409 is what most auto manufacturers are now using on their factory exhausts, gets a thin layer of rust on it, and can eventually rot out (though it takes a long time). MBRP's Pro Series is 304 and you can see it reflected in the price.

The factory exhaust on my Ram 1500 is 409. I'm not sure what gauge though, possibly 16 gauge. It does have surface rust but it is still solid. But like I said I'll be switching to your dual set up eventually. There was a thread about your exhausts on RamForumz a while back and I was blown away. Whoever your TIG welder is must have had a lot of industry experience.
