Default kooks y pipe not stainless?

I just found out that its not stainless...should I worry about rusting?...stainless works offers a complete stainless system...anyone have any feedback on either company?

My y-pipe looks like its stainless. Of course I'm just judging by looking at it beside the headers.

I believe some are stainless, some are not for price reasons. www.ls1speed.com has different versions.

Rusting depends really on where you live. Northeastern members have a problem. If you have coating, it shouldn't be a problem.

Correct. Kooks Y-pipes are aluminized steel, they don't make SS y-pipes, this is what Kooks has said themselves.

Exactly...I checked into this as well!

I painted my Kooks ORY with VHT high-temp paint.
