aluminized exhaust life?

The aluminized chambered mufflers rot out faster than the exhaust piping because when condensation and water gets to the muffler, it rusts and humididy takes a hard toll on the interior also. Even when the exhaust gases and flow is passing through water is still taking a bit to dry out from inside.

I have used both stainless and aluminized mild steel, I live next to the 2nd saltiest body of water on Earth and our roads are HEAVILY salted with salt and salt slurry mixes....... and aluminized holds up fine here. I have friends near the Great Lakes, and it rots off of their cars in a decade.
I'd say it would depend more on average humidity.

You pretty much answered your own question. I got 4 yrs out of mine and I'd even wash it down here and there. Those 4 yrs were average for winter salty roads, rain etc for the great lakes and it rotted pretty bad. I've had a stainless since 2005 and it's still fine.
