Exhaust - Pacesetter comes up as aluminized?

Alright, Ive read the fourms on exhaust and im understanding that with a rotary heat you should use 321 Stainless steel.... but after stopping by my local exhaust specalty shop they looked up my pace setter exhaust (not including headers) @ $400 CDN + installation.

its comes up saying its alumanized and not SS, Is this a mistake on the listing?
but with that price, i cant see it being SS.... its made for a rotary, so i dont understand, is alumanized okay to use? because i was under the impression it wasnt, and SS is the only way to do it....

if SS is the only proper material.... how come pacesetter would have an exhaust in Alumanized?

if it comes in alumanized im going to assume that the headers would to...
would this not burn out the pacesetter mufflers that i am also getting included...

Pace setter is absolute crap, the header isnt even equal length,... so its not really much of a header.

non stainless is fine tho, it just will rust out eventually, the racing beat header is actually 1/4th inch thick mild steel.

okay well i ordered the pacesetter catback for now (mufflers rusted thru and fell off)

as of tommarow that will be here.... so would i be good with RB header, then straight back alumanized to the Pacesetter catback...

removing all cats, will anything need to be done with airpump/&vacum hoses?

or can i just get my catack for now, order up the rb header... and replace the rest with alumanized?

aluminized works fine, my exhaust system isn't rusting out at all and it's 2-3 years old now.

If i was going to build a new exhaust though I'd use stainless or titanium.

Pacesetter is ****, please do yourself a favour and don't buy their crap!

Look in the canadian classifieds section, Compubob is parting out his car and has a nice exhaust he'd sell you!

Racing Beat has a poorly designed header. Look at any car making some serious NA power, they use something like SDJ or custom (search Kahren and 1Revvin7).
