Both the N1 and "normal" RM use aluminized steel piping with a coating on it. I only have personal experience with the regular RM, and it has not shown any signs of rust in the 2.5 years I've had it. If the Super RM uses stainless piping, it should not rust. The canisters on the N1, RM, and Super RM are all stainless, so there whouldn't be any rust issues there either, unless you park your car at the bottom of the ocean or something.

i live at the bottom of the ocean and have had an N-1 for over a year and no signs of rust yet so i would say yeah get an N-1... and if you are askign 2 questions about exhaust you hardly need to make 2 threads about it..

I was hiding this from you guys cause I didn't want to get flamed, but yes, I'm putting dual N1s on... I got the BW rear and it has 2 ports and I didn't want to leave one side open, but I love that rear so.....

I got 2 N1 universals and I'm going to have them Y at the axles...
I know what I'm doing! I need less restriction cause I'm going turbo. :thumbup:

If you need less restriction just get a 2.5 or 3 inch catback exhuast. Dual exhuast on your 4 cylinder will do nothing for you except make your car heavier.
