Y-Pipe: Aluminized Steel or Stainless Steel?

So I'm trying to compare the Warpspeed's Aluminized steel Y-pipe versus Budget's SS Y-pipe. I see on Warpspeed's website that their T-304 SSl Y-pipe is $275 so I'm assuming SS is better? If so, the Budget SS Y-pipe is under $200 USD??

SS wont rust, that's the only major difference.

I would bet that you will either sell your max, or wreck it, or get tired of it and get something else before you would know the difference between the two.
I would say that you should be able to get a good 5+ years out of even the aluminized steel.
But do what you want.

Thanks for the feedback guys.
Any fitment issues with any of these two products? If the GD is still on for warpspeed, I may just go with this one.
