Most of my exhaust is going to compromise of stainless steel, of course it looks nice and last longer......but are there any other advantages of running a full stainless steel exhaust? or any drawbacks?

it retains heat better than normal steel and aluminized steel

Stainless sounds better imo. I think it has to do with how dense stainless is?

I mainly bought it so my exhaust will not rust out over time. One drawback is it is very expensive.

My gmmg exhaust and AR headers/y pipe cost 2k.

expensive? i dont think so man. you just paid for a name. first of all, there are several stainless catbacks for very reasonable prices....magnaflow and loudmouth being 2 of them, and both can be had for under 400 bucks. there are also a couple of header/y pipe options in stainless nowadays that can be had for around 500-700 bucks. you can get into a full stainless exhaust setup for arounf 1k if you shop wisely.

Still stainless systems are more expensive than mild steel. I know what I bought and have no regrets.

you could get stainless steel XS headers and Y-pipe and a magnaflow catback and it should total around 1000 and be completely stainless. thats probably what i'd do if i wasn't going to go with true duals... i still got XS headers though
