Nismo Exhaust (Rust Issue)
 
My exhaust is rusting on the inside of the tips. Like the tubing the 2.5" or 3" part not the tips. is anyone else having this issue? the Stealership says its regular and there are holes to let out moisture from the exhaust but thats going to happen??? Any advice? I live in washington state south of seattle and rain is always! Thanks

no rusting here in one year of ownership. but we havnt had much rain in over a year here in texas......

is the rust from salty roads during the winter?

probably we had alot of snow this last winter. buts inside like the tubing that has the hole pattern right before the exhaust tips. i was just curious if it was only mine. the service guy told me to clean it off and spray it with a non corrosive spray or something.

The catalytic converter turns toxic gases into carbon dioxide nitrogen and water, the water makes it corrode. I suggest getting an exhaust that doesn't have one or using non ethanol gas cuz the alcohol content.

rust on the exhaust is pretty normal and totally harmless.

Sometimes a rusted out exhaust makes great sounds. . .

^^ :roflpuke2: When I was a kid, we charge 5 bucks to drill a hole on the exhaust to make our cars sound exotic!:tup:

Not concerned at all. Its just light rust inside the tips. Might touch it up with some flat black one of these days before pitting starts.
Just one more reason 'play' with my car.:tup:
