also "the bitterness of low quality lingers, the sweetness of low price is fleeting"
high cost longevity = stainless
repeated low cost = flex
for the "vs" part
don't have much cash now vs will I ever?
don't have much cash vs really wanna get on the road
gotta have exhaust vs gotta have brakes
do I wanna do this more than once vs how long will I keep the truck?
some parts places have prebent "alumanized" components, incl pieces for the old trucks, and doing it yourself can save a bunch over getting it done at a shop - I wouldn't expect the flex stuff to last a long time, if you plan on keeping the truck
