Default Question about exhaust piping???

What is aluminized steel piping? Is that stainless steel? If not will it rust? I am thinking about getting the HKS Hi-Power exhaust and thats what the piping is made of. I dont want to buy an exhaust that has a chance of rusting in a year.

Is there any chance it will rust? Is Aluminized steel the same as mild steel?

its not the same. yes it will rust but much less and slower than standard steel. its waht most lower end after market systems are made of. its not just gonna rust to pieces in a year if thats what your asking.

Yeah thats what I am asking. I have seen it happen on an Apexi N-1. Someone said that I could sand the piping down and paint it with High temp. paint and that will help it from rusting.
