Default Ti question

Is there anything that deteriates in the Ti's over time. I picked up a set off an 01 with 55k on the, very clean looking. I've got 26k on the ones on my car and plan on doing a Ti mod. Any reason not to use the older set?

Let's put it this way ... they will be finding Ti C5 Z06 exhaust systems buried deep down when the ruins of cities are no longer identifiable.

The only thing I've heard that changes with them is they have steel wool in them for baffles that can break down over time. It just makes them louder over time, not such a bad thing. I did the bypass mod on mine, sounds great.

Yes, all stock exhaust system, just the bypass mod. Here are some pics of it, didnt get any sound clips of it yet. It has a notable difference in sound at startup then a slightly more agressive idle. Its most noticable at higher rpm, makes some sick sounds at wot between shifts. . Ill have to get some sound clips of it and post up.
