sorry if this has been posted. tried looking for it with the search but couldn't find anything specific. I'm gonna buy a used non SS stillen y-pipe and I know that rust was a concern about these pipes rusting. I was just wondering how long it takes for these pipes to start rusting or if wrapping accelerated the rust. I'm assuming that the pipe i'm gonna buy is 5 years old and i'm hoping that it won't rust for at least the next two years.
thanks

 

Hmm, I don't know about buying a used stillen pipe. The old ones made weird noises. I would save up for a new pipe. Whatever brand, take your pick. But, to answer your question. The maxima's stock exhaust system is made from mild steel just like the non SS pipes. you have a 95 maxima.. Look at the rest of your exhaust system. The stillen pipe should be in slightly better shape than that.
