Yeah, you don't want to be driving around with a rusty piece of aluminum.

not trying to get into it with you because i know you can be very adamant and headstrong, and i get the same way sometimes. but for everyone's knowledge

"Aluminum is actually very prone to corrosion. However, aluminum corrosion is aluminum oxide, a very hard material that actually protects the aluminum from further corrosion. Aluminum oxide corrosion also looks a lot more like aluminum, so it isn't as easy to notice as rusted iron."

That exhaust looks pretty custom to me, if you want something like that, find an exhaust shop that will make one without a cat, and have them make a 3" custom straight pipe to a 3 1/2" tip. Uncoated aluminum, wont last forever, but better than nothing, and shouldnt cost very much.
