Magnaflow is a good choice for longevity in all season driving. Stainless Steel pipes and clamps. Mufflers seem to be good quality as well. More $$$ up front but do it once and forget about it. Lifetime warranty.

I don't know what's up with the pipes these days but my 87 Dodge W150, that I owned since almost new, still had it's original, solid exhaust pipes on it when I sold it a few years back with 218,000 miles on it. Went thru a few mufflers though and a cat.
