I have a set of each in good shape. The SS ones are very light compared to the stock ones. They do not have the same sound as the stock ones to me. My understanding is they are the same diameter tubes so no horsepower advantage. I will be using a Dansk banana muffler.

The usual SS exchangers will fatigue and fail over many heat cycles. If they are not new at least pressure test them for leaks for safety sake. There have been threads on here in the past showing failed SS exchangers.
