no kidding the welds have to rust.. especially since somebody hacked it up like that... think about it.. they welds arent Stainless steel, so they rust.. and since they are welded to the body of the muffler they will cause rust holes on the muffler.. the reason is because when they weld to the muffler body it burns the SS metal..

by the way i wouldnt pay 10 bucks for the pos

If it was very cheap, get it and have it while it last. If it's kind of a lot, screw it and get a new one.

Just buy a new one, why waste the cash on this when you will have to buy a new one soon?
