I just put a magnaflow cat back exhaust on my dads 2007 suburban.

now i got his old exhaust sitting around in the garage. i want to take it to a scrapper, but i wanna know what its made of first.

its a 2007 suburban ltz flex fuel with 5.3 v8. dunno if that helps.

thanks guys

 

[lownslo]

aluminized steel pipe i would guess!

 

[Hit Man X]

Not aluminized. Shit would rust right the fuck out in northern states.

I have always wondered this myself... they seem to be pretty durable

 

[07classicZ71]

I'd like to know too, I've got my stock system sitting in my parents attic

 

[Ginger]

i believe its stainless, but i could be wrong

 

[Chris.]

the stock one to my dodge has been in my yard for 6 years. i think a snake lives in it

 

[08RCSB]

i believe its stainless, but i could be wrong

I think you're right.

 

[Chevrolet Fanatic]

Pretty sure it's stainless or you would see everyone with rotted off exhaust systems.

 

[blackknight]

k cool! im gonna take it to a scrapper tomorrow, ill see how much i get, and ill report back!

You might get more for it selling it to someone who can use it to replace a broken or missing exhaust.

Oh, and it's made of snips and snails, and puppy-dogs' tails.

 

[blackknight]

i guess your right, but the bend that goes over the axle is where i had to saw it off in order to take it off the truck..........so i guess they could reweld the pipe...but yea i just want it out of my garage.

 

[KennyR]

the stock exhaust is aluminized stainless

 

[nboylie]

I doubt it is stainless.

 

[KennyR]

I doubt it is stainless.

its aluminized stainless steel. if you read a gm brochure it will say this.

 

[theholycow]

I doubt it is stainless.

Why wouldn't it be? Back in 1997 Pontiac wasn't selling any vehicles with anything other than 100% stainless exhaust...by 2007, Chevy should be able to put stainless on Suburbans.

I had aluminized steel dual exhaust for over two years on my ol truck and it hadnt started to rust....i live in maine. :hmm:

 

[Lt.Dan]

The exhaust is stainless steel. I tried to scrap mine off my truck after I had my duals put on and the offer was pitiful. He only wanted to give me like $17 for the whole thing. I sold it to a buddy who had a rotted out exhaust on an OBS and he offered me $70 for it, so it took it.

 

[blackknight]

well i ended up takin it and a bunch of other crap i had in my garage to a scrap metal recycler...got like 7 bucks for a shit load of scrap metal...oh well. its getting recycled, and its out of my garage.

 

[theholycow]

Yikes, how many pounds did you only get $7 for? Cash for Clunkers must be DESTROYING scrap prices.
