	Wouldn't it take both?  Won't the acid need water to do its work well?

	Also, if you drive on salt-covered roads, they'll *definitely* rust
from the outside-in.

	Curiously, most of the Type IIIs I see driving around on CA roads
have stock mufflers still!  I think they take a very long time to fail here.
