Are they salted lol
Oh man u have no idea.. how bad they dump salt.. the roads are generally white til aprill after 15 rains =.=
If they were smart they would use sand like some of the other states..
but ya.. when the car isnt a daily driver any more i got my work cut out for me

that rust will spread like a cancer.
i had this problem myself. i bought a set of used MAC headers and a MAC h-pipe. after ONE winter, they were rusted to hell. i bought a set of Pypes headers, pypes H-pipe (i don't recommend either), and flowmaster super 40 stainless steel cat back. i figure that the exhaust will outlive the car :lol:
