MH> I thought the same thing about mufflers.  At least GM started making   
    MH> stainless steel mufflers.  I still have my original muffler on my 2k2   
    MH> MC.  It looks fine, too.  I would have gone through at least 3 of the   
    MH> old type by now.   
      
    RW> Even so, those mufflers and pipes will eventually fail from the   
    RW> inside out. Moisture and combustion acids combine to eat even   
    RW> stainless steel.    
      
   i've noted that my 300's muffler has a drain hole or two in it to try to help   
   prevent this problem ;)
