TSP True Dual - Stainless or Aluminum? I ordered the TSP True Dual Kit seen here a few weeks ago and I'm still waiting on it to come, but in the meantime, is it made of Stainless Steel or Aluminum?
I'm hoping stainless...

Its definately aluminized steel. Unless they changed it recently when I contacted TSP to see if it would fit my mac headers I asked the same question and they said aluminized so that would be my guess. Still a very nice system thats priced well. I need to get a true dual system on my z28 soon!

The TSP system is aluminized steel. I don't think they offer a stainless version.
I would hope it's not an aluminum exhaust system, otherwise it would bend/dent quite easily.

I believe it's painted mild steel. It may be aluminized though - not sure. Stainless sounds good and all, but aluminized holds up just as well.
Painted mild steel will look like it's been on the bottom of the ocean, after a year on an LS1 powered car.

Exactly. I live in Massachusetts and my 99 expedition has seen a few winters and I have a dual flowmaster system on it. Its all aluminized steel and has held up EXTREMELY well considering the amounts of snow, salt, and sand it sees. It wont look real real pretty after a few years as Lane has stated but it wont be rotting and falling apart under there.
