When I worked at an exhaust shop, we would use an awl to make a small hole in the muffler right above the rear seam. That lets the water drain out of them and they last a lot longer. I'm not sure you're interested in doing that though since you're looking for date coded parts. Just throwing that out there. It also is dependent on the amount it is driven at one time. A trailer queen that is only driven super short distances will greatly suffer from condensation in the exhaust system

Minimum drive should be 15 miles or 15 minutes one way to be certain the temperature of the exhaust system is above steam or 212*F. Look for internals made of aluminized steel or stainless 409 or stainless 304. These 3 grades are good, better, and best. If the manufacturer doesn't name one of these 3 metals, it's likely carbon steel is being used, the shortest lived of all. See: https://www.maperformance.com/blogs/mape...w-these-details

How much is ECS over the axle pipe system resonators and mufflers date coded? There is no price on his website. I've always ran my car and got it up to operating temperature. 2nd set of mufflers and it is kept in a climate controlled garage. As mentioned "up to temperature" does not matter. You need at least 15 minutes of drive time at temp. Each time.
