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

Flanges are mild-steel and subject to rust ... pipes and mufflers are stainless and ot subject to rust .... flanges will always rust. Just accept it ...

it's a shame, some manufacturers will advertise their system as stainless however still use mild steel flanges to cut cost, which really doesn't take too long to rust

for reference, we do not cheap out on flanges
