Hello list, Recently, i bought a whole exhaust system (1.9 wbx) from Bus depot (last summer). I have only put about 500 miles on the van since, and the exhaust is rusting really bad. It has only seen a couple of wet days, both being snow,(had to pull out the van to get to work) but spent most of its time garaged. Most of the paint has since baked off the system, to be replaced with rust. All of the paint is gone on the header/collector pipe, and is now all rust. Most of the parts i have gotten from bus depot have been top notch, and i am really satisfied....Did i get a lemon, or is this common? what can be done to get rid of the rust, in the realm of the home mechanic. (ie, i dont have access to a sandblaster) Any thoughts would be much appreciated, as i would like to prolong having to purchase another exhaust for quite a while. -Erin R.
