Default What metal for exhaust piping?

What metal makes the most sense for exhaust piping? I live in the NE, so this piping will get its *** dragged thow snow, salt, water and more on a regular basis. If I get an aluminized kit from the racing solutions guy and leave it on, will it be gone in a week? I mean SS seems to be the way to go, but I don't know about alumized piping and other ----. Please enlighten me.

And if spraying the piping with something when I put it on will help, let me know about that too.

Get the SS kit from Kteller. I live in the NE too and it was only $25 more for stainless.

I live in Colorado and use aluminized steel for my car. Bunch of snow and rain over the last 5 months and not a spec of rust.

I'm in PA and I used aluminized on my Civic and that was on the car for probably 2 years and its still going strong.

aluminized will last for even longer if your willing to hit it with a coat black spray paint every 6 months, and still look nice

Well anything will last longer with matinence, but who the hell wants to paint their exhaust every 6 months?
