I have never seen a diesel exhaust system rust out from the inside like a gasser exhaust does. They seem to stay pretty well oiled on the inside. No acids in the exhaust like on a gasser. My 300D is 19 years old with the original exhaust. It has a tiny rust spot on the leading edge where mud builds up on it, but that's all. I imagine it's a bit different in the rust belt, but even up there I doubt it would be worth going to stainless.
