corrosion warranty question
Just wondering what is covered by the CW. Is it only painted metal or is it everything on the car?
I'm asking because I have an exhaust leak caused from a pipe that was rusted through.
right here:
If it is not covered will I have to buy a whole new muffler?

I had the same flange rust out. you can have it replaced at a muffler shop if you dont want to replace the entire thing. I took it as a good time to get my Cattman Cat-Back.
However, I doubt it is covered, just call Nissan of North America and they will tell you.

keeep in mind that your corrosion warranty is out the window if that panel was repainted or the rust is from rock chips or other damage.

Yeah, I just looked through the whole warranty pdf on nissan.com and it specifically says the exhaust is not covered.
Its only a 3 year old car, It shouldn't rust through that quickly.
But when my muffler does go, i'll have to take it in to get welded on, rather than doing it myself. Oh well $20-30 is better than $200 for a new muffler.

They cut out the connector and welded on a straight piece of piping for about $20-30.

I have an 01 and encountered the same problem. Budget Exhaust cut out the rusted section and welded in a new piece for 50 CAN. This is the only way to go if you want to stay with your stock muffler and B-Pipe.
