A 2 weeks ago I put a stainless steel DTM on my Alty and I looked at it today and there are small tiny spotts of rust on it. Is there any way to prevent the muffler from rusting???
Thanks

Yeah, I've been trying to do that. With wet rags and I also got some stainless steel maintainer, so I've been using that-

Steel wool will take the rust spots off...just be sorta carefull. You don't want to do too much.

Get a nice metal polish and do it up. It will help to protect it and keep the rust down.

All metal will corrode.

You need to clean the corrosion off and protect it if you can.

The outer rust is nothing to worry about, almost all muffler rust holes start from the inside. this is because your exhaust is mostly water and the water sits in the muffler can and rusts it away.
