not here to bash the company, just wondering why my dp is rusting....

 

isnt that dp "stainless steel" some people have been complaining about the magnaflow "stainless" exhaust rusting also

 

its not stainless steel.....

 

wow that sucks. hope every thing turns out ok.

 

got it in the fall,we ve had almost no snow all year around and its rusting, and no its not surface rust, showed it to someone else on the boards who is an amazing fabricator and he just shook his head, wtf do i do now?
soory a tad upset gievn the amount of money i payed even with the gb and the amoount of time it took to get here..

 

i would give them a call or shoot them a e-mail. they are a good company i have delt with them a couple of times. i think they will straighten things out.

 

^x2

 

They advertise the tubing as stainless steel, but they do only say steel for the flanges. Which part is rusting?

 

shoot kenny an email.

 

just slap some high heat paint to it,i have just installed the same pipe, hopefully mine dont rust

 

That's very wierd. Mine is fine and I have had mine on for a while now.

I have the 2.5" w/cat. What do you guys have? That is wack. Any pics?

One other thing. When you guys go through the car was do you get the underspray done?

Spraying the undercarriage with detergants might do it in.

 

Hey CT, ive got the same one as you,
ill try to snap some pics and my car does not see undercarriage car washes since last year when i bought a cold air, a pm was sent.
dont have a stock cat to throw in there and also custom tuned, well see...

 

Damn dude. I'm real sorry to hear that. I hope this gets fixed for you.
Yes please take a pic so I can check the same areas. I checked quickly about 2 hours ago and didn't see any rust.

 

Had a look underneath and there are patches of rust. I bought this DP from Boossted about two months ago and he painted it for me. I am not sure if it just the paint that is maybe burning off in places or actual rust. Either way, it looks like ****. if you post some pics it might give me a better idea of what the hell is happening to mine. It does post on the website as stainless steal but what quality?

 

Guys if your daily driving in Toronto/Mississauga, its gonna happen. The GTA switched to a new type of road salt (brine) and its hell on the cars, everything rusts now including my stainless exhaust tip and such. Toronto is reporting a 30% increase in service costs on their trucks since they started using the brine. So it really doesnt matter what you have, its gonna rust off.

Sadly there's not much you can do, its Canada... That dp will still probably last you 5 years, but its definetly not gonna look pretty the whole time. My suggestion is try Zoro Muffler near Dundas and Tomken, was there the other day and they were doing a dual setup on a Solstice GXP, hes does good stuff and hes cheap...

 

my gmpp sport exhaust does not look like the dp thats forsure...
ill try to get pics this weekend.

 

from their site:

Mandrel-bent, stainless steel piping in 2.5" or 3 " sizes, 3/8" thick steel flanges

 

ya and the tornado gives my car 50%more horsepower, its not true stainless.

 

If thats the case, there are 50 on Ebay with my
name on it.

 

Stainless Steel should Not rust >> No matter what condition, Salt, Sand or what ever! Unless it is a Cheap Grade of stainless!

 

^^^^^^ THANK YOU!
like i said, my GM exhaust looks fine and its been through 2 winters, i havent even had this thing 6 months yet.....
