I haven't seen any numbers on the Stainless Steal Greddy other than the price which is more than the old Evo cat back. I think it is more for looks than for anything else, and I don't think that there will be that much for difference in weight, power gain, or sound... if there is any difference it will just be in looks. Someone correct me if I am wrong. No sense in spreading conjecture and speculation if someone has the right answer.

But hey, if you have the money than go for it... and if you have the money buy me one while your at it. I could also use a B&M short shifter and a plane ticket to Japan while your at it. J/P

Understand the fully stainless steel one is going to do ZERO for performance save for hopefully making a longer lasting unit in wetter/humid climates.

Well, you didn't list your hometown, so we don't really know. Basically, what they are saying is that for someone like me in Cleveland, it's a good deal because the snow, salt, and rain won't destroy it.

The biggest benefit performance wise, if you can even consider it, is that the stainless steel will hold up against rust a lot better than aluminized or mild steel will.

Ghostrider, I fully agree with you. Just something to throw around:

If your car is running with a cat, naturally, you will have water coming out of your exhaust(hehe.. not in a attempt to make it louder on purpose ). Mild steel may look fine from the outside, but most likely, it will probably start rusting from the inside. Then, your airflow is compromised, so in the end, if I had a cat, I would spend the extra beans on the stainless. Cheap insurance. For those who have a test pipe, and live under the snow belt, it probably won't matter that much.
