Anybody else's car rusting yet?

Thanks for the responses, guys! I'll just leave it as is. I thought it was because I didn't do rust-proofing, haha.

I've had exhaust studs break on new vehicles that hadn't even left the factory where they were made. Doesn't take a lot of ambient to HOT events to make those suckers seem like they welded themselves together.

Yeah that is normal. Just like the rust you get on your rotors.

your exhaust pipe will be completly covered in rust in a bout a year, 2 years and your exhaust bolts will deteriorate to the point of where you'll need to saw them off.

also don't be surprised if you start to see surface rust on pretty much every else on the car
