bubbagross Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Recently fitted a new Stillen, well about 3 months ago, and have noticed that the chrome tips are rusting Had a look underneath and the welds on the back box are also rusting ..... Not very happy Any one else noticed/seen this ... ? Quote
Lexx Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Unless you consistently clean the exhaust, it will corrode over time. Salt, tar, stone chips, will all cause the metal to deteriate. Chrome especially. Quote
Roo Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 There are different grades of stainless but over time they will tarnish. I had one from EUK (Cobra) on previous car and it stood up really well but I still had to clean it every now and then. Autosol should clean it off in no time chap - i imagine you will find it is just on the surface. Quote
Chris`I Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Autosol will sort it. As the others have said, it will rust up eventually, but its just surface rust. My old 350 Nismo exhaust did exactly the same, just need to get out there with the Autosol. Quote
Ebized Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Here is my Stillen 26 months old - with 2 weeks dirt on it Tips are autosoled about once every two months and the rear box every.....well, when I'm feeling extra keen! Pipes are normal colour - they were the same on the 350 Nismo system I had that was 3 + years old when I sold it but just discolouration as opposed to "rust". Quote
