When such material combinations is subject to an high salt environment, detrimental corrosion will occur. This theory can be verified through testing the 409SS wielded coupon material per mil-std-810 salt fog test.”

To me, it's still not normal. HKS do not rust. Borla do not rust. Nameless do not rust. I mean, if you design an exhaust, I'm of the opinion you should prevent corrosion. It is logic!
If I buy a home, I expect it not to collapse lol. If I buy a car, I expect it not to brake in 3 months. When Mazda had rust issues with their Mazda3, they had to do something, it was not normal and their customers had not to pay for that. If a company is using cheap material, it is not the consumer's fault. Especially if they sale their products the same price as others that use good material.
I've bought an exhaust in the same price range than others that have no issues, I expect mine to be as good as the others.
Problems can happen, I can understand. But as a good company, you should listen to your customers and find solutions.
