Do you have rust on your Stromung exhaust?

I installed a new RSB on my car today and I noticed that my Stromung twin tip exhaust has some surface rust on the can, tips and the piping. None of my TXS or Blitz (sold) had this problem so does Stromung use a low quality grade of stainless or what? It’s only around 6 months old so it’s not the old style that was known to rust. Just wondering if any one else has experienced this or not.

BTW, as long as it doesn’t rust through the piping or can I don’t mind polishing the minor surface rust off of the tips every week. IMO it is worth it since this exhaust looks stock and sounds great at WOT.

Thanks for taking the time to look. After posting the same question on another site I found out that this is a common problem but nothing to worry about. Even Rich from Daddy’s said he has to clean surface rust off of his.

Thanks

May be it is because this is my 1st winter after it has been installed.
