Default another Newbi question

Reading all the threads about the exhaust mods etc got me to wondering.

I believe that my 2001 coupe came with stainless exhaust system from the factory. There have been no modifications.

how long or for how many mile should I expect it to last? approximately.

I believe the stock exhaust system is aluminized steel. But it will probably last longer than you will own the car . So no need to worry about it giving up on you
