Stebro is Swiss I believe
And the North American outlet is Canadian.
Modern exhausts are made from aluminized steel, not galvanized. Service
life for aluminized steel is about 6 years in normal Canadian use (probably
the harshest in the World) which makes stainless systems uneconomic.
Stainless won't rust easily but will fatigue fracture. Aluminized steel is
actually the best available material for exhaust systems when you do the
cost versus service life calculations properly.
The old days of mild steel systems that rust through in three years or less
are long gone for quality components.
