Yes, I've seen a lot of that corrosion on a lot of other newer cars as well. Seems auto makers are cheapening out on exhaust materials as of the past few years.

You might want to get something a bit more practical, like one of these

The FR-S is my winter beater.

Hey OP,

I survived winter with blizzaks as well

I gotta agree with you that the car was actually even MORE fun in the winter haha. The thing im worried about now is the salt corrosion. What next steps are you planning on taking to rust proof your car? And since i'm assuming you live in the GTA... do you know any good places locally?

Check this out...heard nothing but good reviews and they offer a lifetime rust warranty if you get your car oiled every winter with them
This is what I'll be doing next winter for sure

Finally got to drive it today after a long hibernation! New wheels, tires and sway bars. After driving a Prius and Odyssey all Winter it sure feels good.
