Exhaust rust

My stock exhaust pipes are rusting, should I be worried? I intend to keep the exhaust and install it when I sell my car in a couple of years. Here

Not really, the OEM pipes SUCK... So maybe when you go to reinstall them just sand it down lightly so you get a good seal

Hit it with a wire wheel, get a fresh gasket. Rust happens, if you want to avoid it get a stainless aftermarket exhaust.
