Message	so wondering if theres really that much of a difference in the stainless greg d downs compaired to the aluminum downs...... plan on picking up a set and not really sure if I should spend the extra cheese on the stainless....I'm not making huge horsepower here and don't really plan on it....overall goal is around 500 horsepower eventually....dont think I need much more....(as of yet)....but just thinking if the aluminum will hold up and perform as good as the stainless...ohh yea i have 3inch test pipes too....will it make a difference if the downpipes are 2.5 inch??? thanks in advance Favorite Quote.....
