    304 vs 201 stainless steel

    What are the advantages of 304 stainless steel compared to the 201 stainless steel? Is 304 worth the extra money?

          201 HAS Less nickle Then 304 and is somewhat magnetic. It is used for spoons , forks , automotive trim, apliances ETC. IMO I wouldnt use it as exhaust. Most things it is used for are not subjected to alot of abuse. I would use 304 if I were doing stainless.
          It is a damn poor mind indeed which can't think of at least two ways to spell any word.

              No Ebay headers for me. I am looking at the Stainless Steel Systems catback. They offer it in both 201 and 304

                    Depends on what series I think bassani has a cheaper series now, My Bassani x pipe is made out of 304 and my Borla cat back is made out of 304. They have been on the car since '99 and really show no rust.

                      Unfortunately I agree with les just depends on your application and if it is worth the money for you.
