chrome shouldn't rust. never had problems with my bike exhaust but I waxed everything and kept it clean.
If you get some surface rust but dont wire brush chrome. If you wirebrush stainless don't use a carbon steel wire brush, go stainless or you can make your problem worse when the cs gets deposited in the small grooves you will make and then later rusts.
A good metal polish will have the stainless exhaust looking like new.

no chrome will not rust pit or discolor. BUT anything that is chrome plated will rust and most products that are plated do all of the above due to a crack or flaw in the chrome casuing the elements to get to the parent metal and rust from under the chrome

That was splitting hairs since almost everything chrome is chrome plated. Chrome plated steel parts will pit and show rust if not properly taken care of. Chrome exhaust tips are too far back to heat up enough to change color. I have seen cheap chrome wheels on cars so bad that the chrome is just peeling off.

Aside from the brilliant shine, things are also chrome plated for its great corrosion resistance, but eventually it will rust. If you will just polish them a couple times a year they will stay good for a very long time.
