get it up on the ramps at a local garage & have a looksie, tbh the metal powerflow use is very poor grade, really makes me wonder how much money they loose through this lifetime warranty!

the powerflow exhaust do not rust themselves, my bro thought this aswell,

the pipe becomes discoloured coz of how cheap the metal is, so it looks rusty, for an extra wad of cash, you can upgrade to stainless steel which never discolours, but they never tell you that

after rusting at the welds, then you can take it back for that, they should of used stainless weld on it
