Default Greddy EVO exhaust starting to rust

Has anyone had any rusting issues with the Greddy EVO cat back exhaust. I know it is an easy repair but just wondering if anyone else had this problem.

Thanks

I have an evo2 and no rust. May I ask where you're from? Maybe the weather condition may be the issue here? I'm from southern Cali.

Holy wtf. That is ugly as hell. You need to get that checked out.

And he's from Pennsylvania which explains it.. They have some harsh winters back east up there.

But it looks like the mid pipe that's rusting through, not the muffler and exhaust tip itself. So it wouldn't seem to be something exclusive to the evo exhaust. You just live in a place where all it takes is a little salt to reach that exposed metal and it's only a matter of time before **** starts getting ate up.

It is actually the original EVO exhaust that didn't have the stainless steel piping. They added stainless steel piping on the EVO2. I think mine is mild steel piping and stainless muffler and tip.

The salt and ****ty winters really screw up our cars in this area.

Isn't this exact same exhaust in the For Sale section?
