Default Stainless versus Mild Steel Exhausts
I am planning to order my exhaust system for the 302 (US Mustang - sourced) that I have coming this week. Wanted get a few ideas on options, if possible. I understand the potential rust issue with a car that is driven infrequently, but what are the advantages/values of stainless over mild steel exhaust systems (I will have ceramic coating both sides anyway)? There is a considerable cost difference.

Also any recommendations re types of catalysts would be appreciated. Do I need to use the standard ones (replacing the existing ones - if they are there) for the Mustang EFI motor for registration?

Other thoughts also welcomed!

Thanks,

Merv
