Don,

On a map of the rust belt, you must live in the bulls-eye!

My '89 has the Dynomax I put on in approx '92 and my '90 has the original
exhaust.

(Of course, the '89 is a Florida can from birth and the ;90 a TX/FL.)

mm in sunny FL

Had I known I was going to keep my '89 SHO through 2006 when I bought it in
1991, I would have spent the bucks ($1200+ at the time) for the Borla
System.  I have put Three total Dynomax systems on that car, plus two other
sets of mufflers.  Lifetime warranty?  Yea, but I didn't bother trying to
collect on it.  Too much trouble, who has the receipt? 

Buy a good muffler from the start, I bought and then loved Bullet stainless
mufflers enough that I became a dealer for them.  Then get your shop to bend
the rest from Stainless, or buy an entire stainless system from one of the
SHO vendors that offer them.

Aluminized is OK, but if it's something you are going to keep, get something
better.
