Default Cat-back question

I was on a vendor's site and saw some "aluminized" Bassini Quiet Thunder cat-backs. Can anyone give me some feedback on these? The price is lower than the stainless ones- does that mean lower quality or less durability? Thanks for any insight you can give.

I know that Bassani has a great X pipe so I'm assuming that there catback Is great also. I know aluminum should be lighter In weight, but I personally would stay with Stainless Steel because after a while the aluminum will start to rust. But If your Vette never see's rain, then the aluminum would actually be a better choice I.M.H.O I hope this helps
