Is this common for the 370Z exhaust flanges/bolts to rust?

That's what happens if daily driven. Can't really help it.

My '12 is the same way. Wasn't like that when I bought it and was kind of upset when it happened about 2 months after purchase. Why didn't Nissan install a stainless steel exhaust on a highly visible part of the car??

You not gonna see it unless you often invite people to check out the underneath of your car or you drive your car upside down on the street.

Drive behind a 370Z and you can clearly see the rust. Here in Miami I see many Z's but have yet to see one without the rust under it....If I can see it, so can anyone else.

Or people are curious enough to look under your car when all their underbodys are the same. no wait they arent they are worse cuz some people drive in the snow.
