I just look at my stainless steel MRT mufflers and they look as good as the day I put them in, (maybe they have a chrome finish) but the OBX have started to rust already. Like I said I would have gone and had them coated. Oh well. Still Love the power they produce.

Remember, there are different grades of stainless. It's been a while, but if I remember correctly some of the lower grades have a higher iron content which allows them to rust. Stainless yes, but not exactly rust free stainless steel.

To Bill they are 304 stainless which is what the others are doing as far as I know. I havn't had any issues myself and really sorry to hear someone is. I have been highly recomending as I have had mine for about 9mths with zero issues.

Yes, I know there is different levels of stainless. And since these were supposedly made from 304 similar to all the rest I was banking on not having and issue. I was wrong. I will post some photos later tonight.

Here is what I found the other day when I got under my Camaro to get a closer look at the rust.

Have you guys contacted OBX? If they truly are stainless, you shouldn't be seeing that.
And man, I could've had a free set of ARH but my damn conscience wouldn't let me keep them. I'm loving the power of the BBK long tubes though but I miss the DT shortie sound.

Yes, I have sent off two email to OBX with no reply to either yet. Pictures were sent with the second email. I agree they should not look like this after after 30 days.

They would be in serious trouble if they ended up being mild steel. What grade do they advertise? 304?
