Construction & Design:
The Stainless Works catback system is expertly crafted from premium 304 stainless steel, known for its excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, ensuring your exhaust system maintains its appearance and performance over time.

All welds are TIG welded, a process that produces clean, strong, and precise joints, enhancing the overall durability of the system.

This thoughtful engineering makes it an ideal choice for trail riders who demand reliability and ruggedness.
