SS exhausts was:Stebro

[Pantelis Giamarellos]

Tess Hi,

I may be wrong but I believe that one of the main advantages of SS
(Stainless Steel) exhausts is their ability of withstanding rusting (as all
stainless steel products)

This is what makes them a noteworthy upgrade costwise.

Take care
Pantelis
