I live on an island right now, would I have to worry about this exhaust rusting?

I live in a pretty humid enviro and have had my jeep off-road a good bit and pressure wash the muffler too. Have had no evidence of rust for the 6 mo I've had mine. Still looks good!

my honest opinion is that this is a metal muffler so eventually yes I believe it will rust. However I do not see how this muffler will rust any sooner than you are stock exhaust. With that being said I highly recommend this Gibson muffler for its sound and performance.

I havent had to oil or do anything to it and ive had zero rust. Holds up well without it but I suppose you could oil it if you so choose.

I haven't had any issues with corrosion. If you always rinse it after taking it into the ocean and dry it. You should be fine.

It is all aluminum so it want rust. I have left ours outside many a night by accident and it is still like new. It is easy to move so I try to remember to bring it in. Even though it is built extremely well and it aluminum I would still recommend bringing it in when not in use. It only makes common sense that less anything is out in the elements the longer it will last.

Usually there is some protection under the eves. As far as I can see, this unit is quite well made and well painted. I suspect you would get 10 - 12 years before rust would show.

The grill can rust,plus you want to keep the electrical parts of it dry.Its in your best interest to cover it.

I am no expert. But it seems to me that as long as your exhaust pipe is not 90 degrees - anywhere - and that the distance to outside is short & it is away from overhang, you're OK. ....

I believe it is. Mine has been out since the fall and I don't see any signs of rust yet.

Yes, mine has signed of rust, but in full disclosure its because I don't take it apart to clean it and allow for it to dry.

Mine didn't last long enough to rust. The little plastic ring that holds the beaters cannot be replaced. Hamilton-Beach told me that at this time, they don't sell any parts. It has been sitting around for over a year and there is not sign of rust anywhere. Note the veiled warning about the plastic components. BTW, the motor functions perfectly -- there's just no way to hold one beater in its housing.

Ive had mine for a year now but don't live in a salty area. However I never cover it and have yet to have a problem. If you keep it covered when not in use you shoul be okay. Not all the parts are stainless steel so over time I'm sure they will rust. A helpful hint. Ash of any kind when mixed with water or any moister will cause rust. Cean the inside on a regular bases and lay a little stainless polish on it from time to time and you should be okay.

Yes. Just make sure that you rinse it off and dry it when you're done. The water will oxidize the metal and cause it to rust if you leave it wet outside of the water.

I cannot speak for the Metal Mulisha exhaust, however my Gibson exhaust that I've had for over a year now is performing fine and has little to no rust. My opinion is you're going to have rust with any muffler you bye. I cannot see the two exhaust being much different other than price and appearance. hope this helps.

It has not started to rust, though I don't store the bike outside. I would not expect it to rust either if left outside. It may just get some small rust spots in the surface.

I have had no problems with rusting, but as any metal exposed to the weather you should treat it as you do your weapon.

The exhaust always has to be vented somewhere. And it gets rather hot so It would be counter productive to not vent the exhaust outside. I believe that when there is water to be collected its because of extreme humidity. Otherwise it should be necessary to collect the water

Clean it well and then store with a slight film of oil to prevent the rust. Should be just fine, this is common. bone appetit
