 Is there any way to keep the rust fom coming back? It is coming from where they etched "Borla " into the tips. Maybe a reason to get new one? Angeled ones?

Stainless steel will rust depending on how harsh your location is..in terms of weather. My muffler gets a little I just polish it up with some Blue Magic metal polish.

TWO main types of stainless, Austenitic and Ferritic, as you can see from the name 'ferritic' has iron as part of its make up = rust!...know your stainless numbers. Ferritics are 409HP/11CrCb/YUS450/439/439HP/441/18CrCb(exhaust Manifolds V6)/444...Austenitic..201/301/304L/304/321/316/309/334(incolloy)/625(inconel)...got it !!!!!!
