Default Corsa compared to Magnaflow after 1 Minnesota winter - PICS

I was under my friends truck to get some pics to show that a 2006 Magnaflow system can be installed on a 2000 truck.

I was surprised at what I found. These are both stainless steel systems, for anyone who isn't sure. The Magnaflow is only a few summer weeks older than the Corsa.

Magnaflow pics first:

Here are the pics of my Corsa syatem with a small Magnaflow muffler added in the I pipe to tame down the raspiness of the ORY.

I also looked under a 4 year old truck with stock exhaust, and it still looked nearly new.

rust is like poison ivy, it keeps on spreading from the original spot you get it. the truck with the magnaflow system looks like it probably had a lot more rust under there to begin with

If you look though rust is all over everything, not just the magnaflow in the 1st pics. Then with the corsa the truck doesnt have any rust anywhere.
