I went with the aluminized 4 years ago (straight, no H or X pipes) and you can't see a speck of corrosion on them......while I don't drive in the rain (but have when forced to) we do have moisture up here in the Pacific Northwest. The stainless will cost a bunch more than you need to spend.

Oh, and the sound you want is really a personal issue....I went with Magnaflo's and love it.

ok, so i finally bought the pypes aluminized 2-1/2" "X" pipe system
with street pro mufflers. I also bought the downpipes for std
exhaust manifolds.
does anyone out there have pics of the install of this system on a 64 gto.
Or any advice for a rookie mechanic.
thanks for any advice or pics

I have the RA manifolds on my '64. If the motor is still in the car you will have to remove the motor mount bolts one at a time and jack the motor up one side at a time. The passenger's side is cake but on the driver's side you will have to remove the Z bar and disconnect the steering shaft from the coupler and pull it up through the interior enough to get it out of the way. I just went through this when I swapped my heads out.

There are a bunch of install pictures on the Pypes site and many of them are GTO's.

We always recommend that you start with the tailpipes and work forward.
Post some pictures if you hit a snag.
