    Yes it should of done that because its steel, and when exposed to heat and water its element will show (it will rust) use black heat proof paint

    im afraid its a fact of life...exhausts rust easily, especially in the winter...

    only way to slow the rust down, and keep your exhaust looking nice for a couple of years is to buy a chrome one or get yours chromed.

    If you decide to get an exhaust chromed, its gotta be a brand new exhaust that hasnt rusted yet, as most chromers wont plate something that will contaminate their tank, and also the pipe will eventually rust under the chrome plating..

    So far I'm on the STD zorst, but it looks like a bag a sh!te! It's rusty, welded in places (by stevie wonder) after the previous owner dropped it!

    But in the new year Id like to get a nice zorst, I'll keep the old crappy one for winter time only.

    your exhaust is rusty because its winter and there is allot of salt on the road and there is heat at the bottom of the pipe as thats where the most heat is :)
