Is there any way to protect the piping from rust, like with some kind of spray? how about powdercoating?

Is that to say that the new polished RB exhaust will rust over time? I thought It was stainless steele.

Powdercoating would not withstand the heat of the exhaust.

I remade the piping on my car (3"->2.5" dual) and reused the old school RS*R RB mufflers that came on the car. Probably one of the cleanest sounding rotary exhaust notes I've heard, and quiet, too! Well, I also popped a Dynomax bullet into the middle of the exhaust system, but the RB mufflers still are doing their job.

I thought powdercoating could withstand really high f-ing temps. I could have sworn that exhaust manifolds could be powdercoated no prob.
