I am going with the RRM one as soon as I find $350 laying around. I had the same (Magnaflow) one on my '04 Lancer and I loved the sound, so I am 100% in for the new version for our "08's. Just my opinion though.

I had mine for 2 years with no problems at all. Granted I live in AZ so rust isn't really a factor. You go from one desert to another so I wouldn't worry about rust.

The Newer Version of the RRM Exhaust is powder coated black on the pipe and muffler so It wont rust thats one of the improvments they made, they all come that way now...

And the RRM one bolts up and matches everything perfectly? I assume it does but would like to know for sure.

in theory, what ever weight you take from the back, you should do the same for the front.
