Stock exhaust metal?
Help me out. Someone (an avowed idiot I think) said the 97 F150 had a Stainless Steel exhaust system? I checked mine and this does not appear to be accurate. Muffler, tail pipe and post cat. pipe all magnetize. Rusting and discoloring as if reg.steel? Confirm to me if you will: What was the stock material? Must not be stainless on mine. Was any of the system? Have they changed it or is this guy just plain ignorant. I suspect the latter as he asked me the most stupid question a man can ask another (In front of his Wife no less!) Why do you want to change your exhaust? What an idiot! My reply was "BECAUSE I WANT TO!" Now I have to say, when one man asks another a question like that it is clearly motivated by jelousy. He might as well be saying "I hate you and I will say anything to get you in trouble because I can't do what you are doing and I am envious of you". What do you say Guy's and Girls? SS or not?

Put a magnet on it. SS has very little iron in it. It should not stick on SS. I doubt they used SS from the factory. Aluminized steel is the standard now. SS is too costly.

Stupid he is. My 97's exhaust wasn't stainless untill I changed it. Now I have a flowmaster 40 series cat back system that's stainless and sounds extremely mean.
