About 5m at a guess. :P

It would depend if the inside of the muffler is stainless, or if it is just the body. Exhaust gas is very corrosive and will rust out any unprotected steel in no time.

Are you looking S/H or new? Perhaps someone could make you a proper stainless system locally rather than importing? ;)

Yes the S/S lasts forever.

An interesting sideline is that where any sensor screws in, it's best not to use an aluminium washer.

In the end result of a chemical reaction, the aluminium loses and corrodes (albeit slowly); although there are different grades of S/S and also of aluminium, usually designated by 3 digit numbers.

You'd think that exhaust gas is a reducing environment due to carbon monoxide and unburnt HC, mild steel exhausts would normally last ages. But then again, there's also NOx produced, with combustion water. So that's oxidative.

I've seen the light with regards to stainless.

      The front lip and headlights are making me do more look backs when I leave the car. I totally love it.

      Its only inside the headlights, all other wiring I've seen has been fine (and I've seen a lot). I (and others online) are just speculating its due to the thousands of heat cycles inside the headlights. Not making excuses though, its crap.

      Hi Luke. Yeah I actually ordered a set of muse ones from highintakeperformance. They are delivering them to me this weekend after 3 months. I think they are replicas of the nismo ones in a different material if I am not mistaken.

      You could have a chat to these guys and empty your bank account, I like their de-stroked 2.5 combo. https://esslingeracing.com/mazda-4-v-per-cylinder-4-cyl-engines/mzr-2-5l
