if its rusty, have your local muffler shop cut out the rusty section as far back untill you hit good metal on either side. then just have them take a section of new pipe, put a slip to slip joint on both ends of the new pipe, slip the new pipe and joints into the old piping, weld the joints in place...wabam...fixed

Almost all exhausts get condensation in them and leak or blow the water out.

I thought the N1 was made from stainless steel and isn't supposed to rust out????

Yeah I thought they were stainless too until I bought one. It sucks to pay $600 and not even get stainless pipeing. :thumbsdown But at least it sounds good.

just remove the entire exhaust system. i plan to run an "open" turbo on the neon, lol.

BTW, im just kidding. any muffler shop will fix your problem for not too much $$$.
