<VV> Stainless exhaust

[Bryan Blackwell]

Hi Karl,

While a stainless exhaust would be pretty neat, you might want to consider a couple other factors before spending the money.  My use is mostly short trips - we use the Corvairs a lot for the kids' baseball.  With the removal of lead from fuel and staying off the road in winter I've found the exhaust parts last a lot longer.  If you're driving your Corvair every day on very short trips year round you might have to replace every couple of years, but if you do the more typical hobby driving of once a week or so and not in snow I think you'll find the exhaust lasts a lot longer than that, more in the 40 - 50,000 mile range.

Yet I anticipate needing to replace my exhaust system every couple of years if it's not stainless and would pay a premium for a system that will last awhile.
