After my Greddy SP2 exhaust rusted out on me recently (after owning it less than 2 years), I was curious who has an aftermarket exhaust that has stood the test of time. I know a lot of an exhaust's lifespan depends on (climate, driving style, etc.), but I'm still interested in hearing some inputs...

 

I don't have a catback, just recently got a 2 3/4 pipe installed with an Apexi muffler. If it rusted out that quick you may want to look at Tanabe (which is a grip) but some of their cat backs are titanium which would probably hold up to the weather better than stainless.

 

I had a Tanabe SRM on my civic, I had it on for about 3 years. It never gave me any problems or a sign of rust, but I do live in the south and it only saw snow/salt maybe 4 or 5 times.

 

i had a rsr on my h swaped accord for like 2 and a half years and it did great

what happened to it? RS-R ExMag is one of my top choices...

 

I think the best solution would be to have a shop fab you up a custom exhaust, then take it off when you get home and spray it with some high temp black paint.

 

I had my greddy evo one day after I bought my car new in 2000, and the axle back portion rusted out about 6 months ago... the B pipe is still in fairly good condition. I did notice however that it's the welds that are corroding more than anything.

 

I have a Greedy SP1 for 6 and a half year and there no rust or breakage and I have a HKS hi power on my Da integra for 5 year and there no rust on it to .

 

u also live in cali...

 

^^^ damn you californians and your perfect weather!

 

**** dude I wish! Norcal has been nothing but rain 25 days out of the last 30

 

I'll deal with 25 days of rain over 6 months of cold, 3-4 months of snow, salt, ice... blah blah, blah... I need to move back to Cali... oh wait... I can't afford a home there anymore...

We had 2-3 inches in an hour today. Thunder-storms suck.

As for the exhausts, I got my Greddy SP2 the day it was released, and it still looks brand new.

 

anyone else?

 

I've had a dynomax exhaust for the two years I've had it,
and it was already on from the previous owner.

No breaks or rust, still looks silver even.

 

i bought my car from frisco....the bay and salt water city...when i bought the car..it had about 6 exhuast leaks..so i just got coustum pipings with a cheap *** walker muffler...sounds great!...i had a magnaflow on it..but **** was too loud and ricy with the pipings....

 

i wonder if you could spray one of those stuff that they used for bedliner for truck the black tart for rust protections on RS*R exmag since it's already painted black anyways

yeah or have a shop do it with you and put a 5 year warranty on the tubing, then just get a lifetime warranty muffler and you are set

I'd love to find a shop that would offer even a 1 year warranty on their work

 

I had the HKS Hi-Power exhaust on my eg for 2 1/2 years no rust at all...

dude, MIDAS, i only got a 2 year on the piping, but i can get a 5 year, it sounds great too, better than half of the people who post on here with their rattly sounding ****

 

i have a Magnaflow Cat-Back for about 2 years and its showing no signs of rust.

 

My gf's GSR has had a Thermal RnD Catback on it for about 7 or 8 years and the car has been in the snowbelt (indiana/Northeaster OH) all its life. Not only does it still sound great but it looks almost new everytime I shine it up.
went through 1 cat and a test pipe though lol.

Stainless o3ns!

LOL Borla's come with a Million Mile warranty

 

I have had my HKS HiPower on my DB2 for about 4 years and it still looks pretty damn good. Only the canister is poslished stainless. The rest of the tubing is painted, but only has a little surface rust on it from scaping. As much as I paid for it would expect more of it to be stainless instead of painted.

 

well because i knew you were down at agile i know you live in the same area as i do <TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by dFreezy &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">
