Yes, cost is a factor. Here's the answer I got when asked the same question...
---
[me] "Any future possibility of your exhaust system being made of stainless?"

[james] "Sure - wouldn't that be ideal? Other than the discoloration problem and
the higher cost of materials, I see no reason why not to do it this way. It's
already a limited market product, so adding this expense doesn't, on the surface,
seem like a viable alternative however."

[me] "I don't see discoloration as a problem."

I understand it doesn't initially seem like a financially wise choice for them,
but with the earlier system rust problems and a few newer ones here and there, I
wonder if it would have been better to go with ss in the beginning. Hindsight is
always 20/20 though.
