61159, Anyone with Apex Cat-back exhaust.......(preferably 1 year or longer)
Posted by BigBald, Oct-10-03 08:18 AM
ANy rust? The reason i ask is that on my hp racing header which was ceramic coated, after a year and it is started to rust. My understanding is that ceramic coats are not supposed to. I have always had ss exhaust systems but heard good things about Apex, but it is not ss (stainless steel). I would like one but i want to make sure that they do not rust after 1 or 2 years......

I had my N1 for two 1/2 years, and now its on another car with still no rust. You should be fine.

ive had my dunk on for over a year. very little rust and only on the piping (muffler is flawless). nothing that i will ever worry about. it went (daily driven) through a shitty PA winter. btw the piping is aluminized not ceramic coated. that means its rust resistant not rust proof. most catbacks are like that.

Well i had a Stainless steel cat back exhaust on my last car for two years and it never rusted or even showed signs of rust. The piping is what i am taking about and the problem i have is spending that kind of money on a system that will rust in under a year. I think i may stick with the stainless steel options.
