Fast Intentions exhaust is here!

Tony, let me know if you need me or my z at the shop for your project.

Viera · 11-28-2010, 07:55 PM

I have a problem. A rust problem. As I was cleaning my exhaust(SS cans), I noticed some rust on the tips. Is it supposed to start rusting this early? I'll post some pics up when I have a chance, but can anyone chime in on this? I am kind of annoyed...

Rust on the tips? They shouldn't rust at all.

Viera · 11-28-2010, 08:01 PM

^Then I must be wrong then. It sure does look like rust. I tried spraying it down and wiping it off, but it wouldn't budge.

Stainless Steel does not rust...It must be stain

Go pick up a can of something like Mother's Mag & Aluminum polish from your local auto parts store and take that to the tips.

This is how mine looked after a year on the car before I sold them. This is before a good cleaning and polish. You can see areas where carbon dust and road grime have built up on them. With a bit of work you can polish them back to perfection.

Yep, the stainless tips can appear to yellow a bit after some heat cycles, but this can usually be polished out.

Here's a better pic of what might appear as "rust" at first glance, but it's just road grime and other nasties built up on the leading edge of the cans. It would take a bit of elbow grease, but you can clean and polish them back to perfection.

I appreciate the help you guys. I know before I bought the exhaust it said "stainless steel", therefore it should NOT rust. But then I saw it and was like, wtf is this? It probably is just road grime and whatnot. m4a1mustang, that is pretty much what it looks like on my tips. Sorry, and thanks again folks.

I understand your concern. Trust me, it is road grime. I have seen it before and I will see it again. It is hard to get off but not impossible...
