If you are considering MBRP Black. You may want to think again. I installed mine in March and by April it looked like this. Street driving only. No off road and probably about 1k miles.

 

thanks i was thinking about getting this. i wonder is the chrome is any better?

 

that doesn't look too good!! but nothing that bbcue paint can't fix.

 

Well, you do live in the Snow Belt. No finish, be it paint or powder coat, is going to last very long in the snow and salt.

Mine looks exactly the same way. I spray it once a year with Krylon High Heat & BBQ Grill paint, lasts another year, repeat. Not a big item really.

I will say, however, the polished stainless variant on my pal's JK down the street from me.... his MBRP system looks virtually brand new and he's had his longer.

FWIW

 

It should last more than a month. They are standing by it and taking care of it.

 

Glad to hear you're getting taken care of.

Mine's doing the same thing on the exhaust tip and on the first pipe coming from the cat-back. The tailpipe paint stuff easily comes off with just a little bit of water pressure. I installed mine in July.

The exhaust piping seems to be ok, for now. What/who do I need to contact or do to fix it.

 

I had the same problem with mine. I had to repaint with bbq paint as well. I was not real happy with having to paint it after just 4 month's.

 

I had the same problem with mine, looked great when new, but that didn't last long. I ended up getting the "Offroad" stainless version and love it. I also bought some stainless polish from Borla (I think I paid around $20 bucks, but it'll last a long time) and her give a quick shine now and then. Still looks like new and sounds fantastic.

 

I bought the alumnized version and its been like 10 months now. Still looks like new. I hit it with BBQ paint ONCE and it has not flaked or rusted.

Let's see what happens this winter... I will hit it with another coating of bbq paint before the salt hits the road. Hard to see in the picture, but you can tell its in fantastic shape.
