I havent seen any rust on his. I would go with apexi...just my opinion tho. With a magnaflow you will get that loud exhaust sound and me i think nice low quiet is the way to go. CLEAN! Also look at the RS*R exhaust. That one is sick too...its a little cheaper than the apexi but looks identical and sounds really similar. I had that one on a prelude as well. Up to u tho
