Whats the Stillen Muffler made from?

I thought once I heard they use Flowmaster. I need to replace my stock one, and have a Stillen thats rusted out, but if I could get the tip and flange welded onto an inexpensive but well known brand muffler, I'd be happy.....

Stillen is stainless steel *or* aluminum. I believe they stopped making the aluminum about a year ago.

I'd love it, just a shame you have a newer car than 95-96. LOL

I have no idea, but I've also heard of the Flowmaster rumor.

maybe stillen uses a few muffler companies at once and you really don't know what you are getting.

Stillen's design sent to a local muffler factory?

So you have a stillen that's loud as hell or a magnaflow that's loud as hell? Anybody else think the magnaflow is loud?
