TheBigB · 09-22-2002, 02:56 PM

I've had this exhaust for about a month now and the tip started to rust. I was like no way, what should i do? I don't want this happening, is there somthing i can buy to protect it and how should i get the rust off it now.

TheBigB what what year is your lude and what kind of exhaust to do you have on there. My N1 is starting to rust around the ring too.

Ohh, i live right around somerset also, so does a friend of mine he lives in Montgomery, my friend has the full N1 Catback, has had it for about a month or more, i don't know for sure, but he's kept it clean and it hasn't started to rust or anything

You need to keep it clean, try Gunk bug and tar remover.

yeah that's cool his aim name is 'foney' you should contact him.

Burlington County here.

BigB, don't ruin the exhaust by sanding and repainting.

Go to Home Depot and get a product called NOXON. I'm not sure what department it is in but it is an all purpose metal polish in a medium shade of green bottle. You can use it on aluminum, stainless, chrome, brass, copper, etc. I guarantee it will get rid of the rust and will keep the exhaust looking like new. I use it on every part of my engine and exhaust. My brother used to use it on his old school chrome rims to get rid of the rust.

You will not be disappointed.

RS*R exhaust tip rusting

MR.CLIFFORD · 09-23-2002, 03:46 PM

I don't think the rust is due to the exhaust. He said it was due to NEGLECT

ME · 09-23-2002, 03:49 PM

My RS*R tip started to rust immediately but it hasn't gotten any worse for 2 years.

cantdrive55 · 09-23-2002, 06:48 PM

My RS*R has no rust whatsoever.

we also live where they dont put salt on the road and the humidity is 10%. have you noticed there are not rusty cars either?

TheBigB · 09-23-2002, 06:51 PM

yea i'm not saying the exhaust is rusting, just the peices of the chrome tip. It sits around outside now so i would expect it to. I was just looking for a product to help protect it. I'll try home depot and see what i come up with.
thanks

Thats because water gets stuck in there... and you know that. Thats why I make sure to dry out my sunroof area after washing.
