None of my stuff ever rusts because I just keep it clean. If you wipe it down like once a week it'll stay looking good for a long time. You could always use high temp engine enamel or wrap it so you cant even see the pipes.

The manifold won't rust if you drive the car often. The manifold will naturally turn from a polished black to a coarse brown color due to the heat. I would highly recommend coating the manifold with anything since it will easily burn off. Another good option would be to heat wrap it.
