that stinks.. Id be upset considering you paid more money for the "stainless steel" exhaust..

Personally, i would cut that exhaust tip off the exhaust, I dont like tips on jeeps and that thing is going to get flattened if you ever drop off a ledge.

WOW! That does look like crap, i've had mine on for 5 - 6 months and there is absolutely no rust on the muffler or tip. You would think mine would look more like yours considering the salt used and crappy winters we have around here. I'll post up some pics of mine as soon as I get a chance, havent had the time to take any during daylight hours.

That looks terrible. I understand that MBRP uses their highest grade Aluminum (T-304 I think) for the tips too.

Did you go with the installer series or the XP series? Also, after install did you wipe it down?

I wiped mine down and polished it before I installed it, maybe thats why im not having rust issues with the muffler or tip?

I would have to say that especially on the tip, it should not look like that. Hopefully they will step up to the plate on this. I've had good dealings with them, hopefully you will too.

Update.. Called MBRP today, they stated that they will give me a call about the situation at hand, I am just very pissed off that I have had this for only 2k miles and it looks like Complete DogSh*t. Will keep you guys updated!
