Been following this thread and laughing my ass of.

I don't care who make the paint on, rust preventative finish for an
exhaust system, it will soon be falling off.

Any of you guys ever hear of VHT ( Very High Temperature ) exhaust
paint?

It still falls off----

Why?

Simple the heat of the pies, causes the paint to become extremely
brittle, and it just flakes off.

The only two ways to prevent an exhaust system from rusting are;

(A) Ceramic coat them
(B) have the pipes made out of stainless.

That's it----

There is no other realistic options, other than spinning your wheels and
painting them pipes, and watch it flake off---

Later,
