Depends.

They are double wall and have been known to collapse inside resulting in not being able to even roll a golf ball through it.

If it's rusted out and leaking, go ahead and get a mandrel bent crossover....

I'd go stainless with whatever you get, I hate doing an exhaust again in a few years to save a few bucks now.

Yeah they salt the roads in WV. They use a salt calcium mix that's hard on everything

They're ok.

They're made by heartthrob exhaust.

Most complaints around ssdiesel involve customer service and unsupported claims of performance.

Some have had no issues in customer service with them.

Hense; good luck.
