For $800 it SHOULD NOT rust. If its not a good grade of stainless it SHOULD be.

My bassani headers are a little rusted. They are not the coated ones though.

I've been a Bassani dealer since the mid 90s, and I can honestly say I have NEVER in my life seen a Bassani cat back rust like that. I had Bassani parts on my Gen 1, and drove it for 8 years through salty, snowy NY winters, and it still looked new when I got rid of it. I had the same Bassani cat back on both of my Gen 2s, and it never showed a sign of rust either. I have had several cut up pieces of misc Bassani and stock stainless exhaust sitting in my basement for 4 years now. My basement has huge flooding problems, and sometimes these parts are sitting in water, and when they aren't it's still damp city down there. There isn't even rust on where the metal was cut. The only Bassani parts I've ever seen rust, was their headers, because they are not stainless steel.

Just my 2 cents.

silly people, jdm stuff is made with metal that cannot be obtained on earth. special jdm harvesters travel the cosmos for the finest in spaceuminum alloys to keep your jdm exhaust from ever rusting. in fact, if rust wishes to take hold on your exhaust, the special spaceuminum will react to the rust via your pcm and give you additional timing, which will cause your trust to go faster, which will blow the rust particles off the exhaust. engineering at it's finest.

My MAC looked very good after being on my old 99 for two winters.... one in Michigan, and the other in Ohio. That was very inexpensive, and nice... should have stayed with that one!!!!!
