To me this is Zed related, so i put it here. I bought an exhaust from someone earlier in the year and have to put it on yet. I don't have gaskets for it, i don't have a decent jack, and i don't have stands. So basically, i can't swap out the exhaust myself. With the wet weather and me not having anywhere to store it, the polished exhaust is now getting surface rust so i need it gone. Now i'm thinking of just taking it to a garage and let them install it, but the exhaust has no cats on it. My question is, will a garage have problems (morally and legally) about installing an exhaust without cats? It's a full system (dumps, test pipes, catback exhaust) that i need installed, and i do have every intention of getting cats later down the track, but for time being i just need my exhaust replaced. I don't want to start calling places up and getting rejections because i really don't have the time, so figured i'd ask here, i'm sure someone here has experience with this. Cheers.
Some garages would probably do it for cash/without receipt if you ask around. Why risk it though? Just get em to install some high-flow cats with it...
why is it getting surface rust? if can't be stainless if thats the case meaning mild steel... and who polish standard mild steel exhausts? lol yep making it easier in the long run if you get a canary
There are lots of types of stainless - some of them do get surface rust. Exhausts are usually made from that type. My yew-bewt UAS full stainless system gets a bit of rust on it. If you intend to change the dumps as well, I wouldn't take it to a garage. Dumps can be a b*tch to get off and exhaust shops have much more experience in doing it.
