Yes, most cars are now. That is why so many muffler shops have gone out of business. The SS exhausts lasts a long, long time.

Ok, thanks guys. That makes it infinitely tougher to weld/repair.

Yes it does. Ive had some trouble welding stainless. While I get very nice welds and everything looks great It cracks right next to the weld.lol. But ive only had this happen when working on stainless exhaust systems.
