they are not rusty, they are new so just wondered what best course of action was , prevention better than cause? mind you , as said, at that price I'm tempted to wait until I need replacement and then go for stainless.

Then why not put your standards on ebay while they're still fairly new, then once sold order the stainless?

I'm considering using cure rust on the collector box (if that's what it's called) bringing the 4 pipes to one and then painting this.  I've been told it's this box which is the actual problem and not the pipes which are apparently stainless anyway.

Be careful Midden, if you do this. I did it with rust converter and then granville on it after and the paint fell straight off after 1 ride, reaction with converter. Needless to say I'm redoing mine this weekend in the hurricane!


The collector box and the joins on the balance pipes is where mine rusts.
