I have done a great job taking care of my Z so far, she has not seen winter or any salt at all.

I drove it in the rain maybe once or twice last season.....


I took a look underneath..... BOOM..... wtffffff...... RUST


I guess there is just no avoiding it... no matter how careful you are.

The exhaust pipes and some of the hardware (clamps, etc...) are gathering some rust... no clue how....

very discouraging just sharing my grief.

FI exhaust is going on in a few weeks anyway... hopefully that fights off corrosion a little better

Its an OEM exhaust system - they rust. Assuming the FI exhaust is Stainless steel or Titanium you won't be feeling discouraged after it is fitted.

It's stainless. Took this picture just now of my Fast Intentions Exhaust. My Z is daily driven, those are my snow tires on it, so it sees plenty of salted roads here in Ohio.



It'd say it's much better than the factory exhaust I removed at 5000 miles.
