I'm going to order and install a new exhaust system on my GTO. What's the best way to keep it from corroding or rusting?

It is steel pipe with an aluminum coating on it. Looks more or less the same as plain steel but doesn't rust immeadiately. I've got a set of aluminized pipes that have around 10,000 miles over a period of 5 years and no rust on 'em

I'm pretty sure all of Gardner's systems are aluminized steel. If you are not driving in the rain often, your exhaust system will stay aluminum color for at least 3-5 years. Other options for keeping the exhaust show quality are;
Ceramic coating 1500 degree silver paint stainless steel

Thanks for the replies. I'll check with Gardner to see if they have an aluminized version of their exhaust system.

Is it coated steel? I am looking for something that will look as original as possible and still hold up well.

Go for aluminized steel. Reasonably priced and lasts pretty well too.
