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.

Splitting hairs. go with what you like best.
I'm running SS exchangers, but I also backdated a rusted out system from a '75. I haven't any fitment or sealing issues. I like that they won't rust out. Both stock and SS are old and both can fail. Go with what you like. Prices for the SS have remained constant the last 10 years so if you need the money, sell them. If you decide to go back at a later date it'll probably cost you the same to buy a set again. If you don't need the money, keep them as spares in case the stock ones rust out. |
