I don't really drive the car in crappy weather and although it sits outside, it stays covered all the time. Also on the north east coast the weather and salt accumulation isn't anywhere near as bad as the midwest I'm sure. My Dynomax looks like new still.
But, you're right to mention the deterioration problem.
IMO the sound isn't raspy, at least not from the inside of the car, (windows open of course) but you're right, the resonator is a bit puny looking. Maybe after a few thousand miles of 'break-in' it'll start sounding bad. (I hope not)

Only problem with the Dynomax mufflers is that, if you live in the salt
belt, you will get two years max on those mufflers. In fact the last new one
on my '94 lasted about 1.5 years before Dave (new owner) swapped it out.
Too bad they didn't make stainless steel Dynomax mufflers, as the sound and
the exhaust tips are nice for the car.
One issue with the Dynomax catback is that it needs a bigger resonator, as
it is raspy. Also, with full-length SFCs, the pipes fit kinda funky.

I got the Dynomax cat-back from the Summit Racing catalog.
It's been on the car for a year. Sounds great without going
overboard, cost about $250. (plus another $100 to install)
All I needed extra was a nice set of tips.
Best, Bob
