Bill, when we were in Hawaii I saw a yellow rental cat that had really a lot of rust on the exhaust just before the tips. I was shocked at how bad it looked.

Certain types of Stainless Steel will rust, but it has to be exposed to some form of salt. I don't think I've ever seen SS rust w/out salt. If you can reach it, just take a brillo pad (scotch brite) to it. If not, have fun at the dealership.------------------ SPCL-T

Actually, only surgical grade SS will not rust when exposed to even mild acidity in the water it is exposed to, think salt air, acid rain, water in the streets, our BODY'S! This is why we have to have surgical implant grade SS when someone break's a bone etc, or it RUSTS!------------------ 2000 Black, 2001 Black Tie, 2001 Orange
