  Bernie,
Taka is correct, as certainly the stock Audi exhaust pipes are 
stainless and it's  widely accepted as fact (except possibly by you) 
that the exhaust system is predominately made of stainless steel 
components. I'm surprised that you think that "well protected mild 
steel" could survive 15 rust-belt winters (both my '91 200q cars 
still have their original exhaust systems, although some muffler 
perforation has occurred). Even stainless steel cannot avoid eventual 
corrosion by calcium chloride.
