There is a big difference between 304 and 409.

Attachment 213 304 stainless steal

Attachment 214 409 stainless steal

If you want to try something interesting, take a magnet at see if it will stick to a system that is made out of 409, (magnaflow, flow master, JBA,) it will. There is so much steal and impurities that it will stick.
Then try it with a system made out of 304, the only one to date that is 304 is (ZOOMERS) it will not stick.
409 has a high impurity, steal count it WILL RUST very fast. 304 will not, it is more expensive yes. Does it look better, yes. Will it last a lot longer yes.

There is no comparison between 304 and 409. And a two into one muffler back to two pipes is not a true dual exhaust, you have two tail pipes but one muffler.

In a single system a Y pipe is used to help eliminate DRONE, and create a scavenging effect to balance out both exhaust manifolds and increase HP and torque. This is basic exhaust engineering, do not let somebody tell you something else. If they are not using one it is because of the cost factor.
for someone so "informed" you dont even know how to spell "steel"...and there is no such hoo-hah as a "high impurity STEEL count". I've never tried, but if you can have a magnet stick it is because of a higher content of more ferrous metals. Steel is made of a composition of other metals, different compositions of those base metals gives different properties. You make it seem like any other exhaust is going to instantly rust and fall apart. This is untrue. A stainless exhaust MAY experience corrosion or scaling but isnt necessarily detrimental to the integrity of the part, you can polish it back out. IF you even need to do that. It also appears that magnaflow uses 430 series SS. Your absolute lack of knowledge and the fact that you're posting false information definitely turns me away from any product you or your company makes.
