Considering the stocker isn't stainless, and the cattman is T-304, I highly doubt the cattman will only last 2 years if the stocker lasts plenty longer.

Cattman SS will not rust(well for the life of the car at least), the only pipes that rust were the jet hot coated ones and those are long gone, the stillen ypipe has also been known to rust from the inside out.

Real 304 stainless will not rust in a thousand years, ask yourselfs this question how many of you have a kichen sink that is rusting or stainless pots and pans they dont rust at all if they do then there not stainless or its a low quility stainless that will rust ,the only thing that would make 304 stainless rust would be extended periods of heat like 1500f if that doesnt happen then you will never see304 rust. Sometimes people tell me their stainless rusted but like i said its either cheap SS or the person they bought it off of lied to make a sale that happened to me my greedy is riddled with rust holes.

The only time I've ever seen rust on t-304 work is the welds. Sometimes, people skimp on the welds, so the piping itself doesn't rust, but the welds do.
