He said that the factory system has small pinholes in the muffler to release the condensation, and that the aftermarket ones do not and that is why they dont last.
I have a Gibson cat back on my 01 Tahoe still looks as new the day I installed it and it is not the stainless one.
Neither do my flowmasters on my 70 Chevelle which are 12 years old now
and do not have drains.
I agree with SoCal- as you drive it the condensation dries up quickly

SoCAL.
I've e-mailed Gibson requesting detailed info... such as dyno-results and/or a sound clip. No response to date (over a week)!?!?
I requested this info for several reasons- 1.) I'm curious if they can validate their claims of power increase, 2.) I want to avoid the Ricer Buzzzzzz while going down the road, 3.) There's NO info on the HHR exhaust they offer on their web-site!!!?
Seeing how you may have an 'IN' with them, AND that we seemingly have a captive market (HHR-specific), is their any way you can request this info and post as a sticky (or on your site)? OR- should everyone thats interested e-mail Gibson direct (flood them with e-mails to show demand) until we get what we're looking for?????
Don't get me wrong- I believe Gibson is a solid company turning out quality performance parts (at a premium).... however, I'm already UNIMPRESSED with their customer-service due to NO RESPONSE WHAT-SO-EVER!!!!
Spring's breaking in Michigan and I want to begin modding my hurse but DONT want to waste money on junk parts!!!!
