Rusty Exhaust - Common?

[dannyboy2005]

One of the hooks on my back box has rotted away causing the exhaust to hang on one mount and making it twist.

I know why its rusted away, its because i clean my car to regulary . Just wondering if this sort of thing happens to standard back boxes?

I'm going to get a cheap ali one.

yup, happened to me too... and my elbow and cat was starting to rot too, so i just got a complete system from new and fitted it...
less hassle.

but if urs is just the back box and hanger, weld maybe ? or cable tie

[dannyboy2005]

I cant cable tie it, the actual hook has been torn from the box its self.

I'm wanting a Stainless Steel Exhaust!

As said standards will rust eventually, in a very vunerable spot for water to be flicked up onto it, stainless steel will not rust
