Default Rusty DC header?! need some help.

Are ceramic header supposed to rust or is that a defective part? I've had it on my car for less than a year. Its kinda bad. There are light patches all over. It just happened a month or so ago.

I'm in the coating business, and even when I do ceramic coating on headers it only lasts a good 3 years if you live in a salty area like the northeast. All dc ceramic headers rust btw.
