Estimated Life of the GReddy Evo?

The piping is not stainless, its somekind of aluminized steel. I know no one has had it long enough to tell how long it lasts (well, I hope no one has broken one already on a 7th gen), but does anyone know about how long the aluminized steel pipes last? I really don't want to spend a bunch of money if I have to replace it in 3 years...
Also, I'm guessing that the stainless pipes last longer, but does anyone know how long?
It would be taken care of, but still subjected to the elements in all seasons.

Intruder is an unknown quantity at this point

Depends where you live, a few of my guys who live near the beach rust out aluminized piping in around 2 years. Around here most people say 3-4 if you don't drive in the winter salt. Stainless pretty much will last forever, unless you scrape the hell out of it. Won't rust for sure tho. On the DC TCS the flanges are not stainless, but it's because they say they are thick enough to protect themselves from corrosion problems.
