Default Yet another Apex'i WS thread

Due to the lack of SS piping on the WS, does anybody know if the titanium power coat holds up to corrosion? Also, would it help to use like high temp engine enamel on piping ot prevent from corrosion?

Does anybody ahve a pic of it on an integra?

It should last at least as long as OEM, but personally I'm more a fan of the RS*R Exmag because of the stainless pipes.

I am pretty sure it will hold up as long as you dont push the car too hard . The weather shouldnt be a factor but the color may be a required element. So chooses what you do wisely.

it should be fine unless you actually scrape the paint off the resonator. Since the resonator hangs pretty low, it probably would end up scraping on something. Once the paint is off, rust starts to set in. But i don't know how long it will take for rust to ruin the piping.

SS is only for bling....I really wouldnt pay much more for it at all. Its nice to have but not a necessity. A well manufactured exhaust system should not have any issues. Mine has been on for 4 years without a problem. I wouldnt weigh my decision on an exhaust system too heavily on if the piping is stainless.
