Poor me, my ALL STAINLESS BASSANI EXHAUST has rusted.
Even though, the experts here, state that a stainless exhaust doesn't rust
(I guess the experts don't know that there are different grades of stainless........the percentage of nickel and chrome content make all the difference :-O
The truck is never driven during the winter months, and has been on the truck 2 1/2 yrs. Guess I should write Bassani and complain huh?

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.

Are you saying you can warranty my rusted Bassani?

Oh wait, that's just how I felt when I found out I sold my Bassani for a lower quality, partially stainless exhaust!
