With aluminized it will rot from the inside out. I live in Florida and after 2-3 years of driving the aluminized tubing on my Dakota started to look like swiss cheese. Newer modern engines produce more heat and produce less carbon due to leaner A/F. That will cause it to rot on the inside pretty fast. If you plan on keeping the car for a long time go stainless.
