Protecting stainless muffler
I ordered a stainless muffler and should get get in the next 2 weeks. Is there any way I can protect it during winter from salt and calcium?

Now it's done. What I have is a custom 2" exhaust (w/o resonator) and the muffler on the picture above (the one on far right). It's a little loud for daily driving but when you want to, you can get a lot of attention from it. The installation was a little tricky because the piping had to go above the suspension (but it fit). I don't really know how it's could react w/ the system you're getting.<P>BTW, nobody really answered my first question. How to protect stainless muffler from salt and calcium on winter?

Re: Protecting stainless muffler
Stainless Steel DOESNT RUST. Therefore, salt will NOT affect it.
