Yea, i dont understand. I suppose i did get a bad batch, in this case a "non-stainless steel" one. Oh well, live and learn? bah~ Here are some pics though, I just took them while my car was parked underground at work. Ignore the finger prints my fingers were dirty and i had hot cheetos grease all over my finger tips








laterrrrsss

yeah.. that would be cool.. i was seriously thinking about buying an exhaust but i decided to wait.. i know there are many situations that could've made the exhaust rust but... waiting for more options on the exhaust is a better idea.

Tip is SS. It looks like you painted over the SS? Since you are local come down and show it to me. If the tip rusted I will replace it.

Thanks for the offer, but the tip was "ok" it had specs of rust but not as much. It was more of the canister, and the flange, and the welds.

Yea I decided to paint all of it, taking no risks. I dont have that much money to keep replacing axle-backs.

No replacement needed unless you have a full SS or exchage for other brand + difference

looking at the pics, thats exactly the same muffler i bought from rre for my 4g eclipse just a different connection. So i can assume it sounds pretty good. But i can't really can't say. I might buy that one or see if a cheaper one is released.
