Stainless exhaust systems usually carry a lifetime warranty against rust.....so yeah, give them a call and see whats up.

I would be surprised if they warrentied it for surface rust.
Rust all the way through, then yes.

T-409 does get surface rust, not sure about the muffler being T-304.

T-304 will not rust and does have a lifetime warranty, I believe. T-409 doesn't.

Personally I'd never do a T-409....either aluminized or T-304.

Thanks, It saved me typing. The 409 will generally get a goldish surface "discoloration" but it will not rust through. Look at your stock exhaust you took off...that was 409 stainless IIRC.
