Exhaust System

[Caretaker]

Has anyone had a failure (rust) of their stainless steel exhaust system yet? I have not on my 2003, but figure the day has got to come some time.

These are long lasting exhausts, even up here in the Salt Spreading Car Eating center of the planet. My well used 98 Frontier pickemup, that has lived outside since I brought it home, has a stainless system that's doing pretty well, except that the muffler is starting to flake off in fairly large pieces. No holes yet. That's 11 years that would work out to something like 22 years in this climate and our DOT's manlove- affair with salt. I haven't Google Mapped the Delta Quadrant yet, so I'm not sure if you have to deal with the winter salting... but if you live somewhere mild enough to get away from that kind of thing, it has a shot at lasting the life of your Vibe. That would be my guess, anyway. Unless you happen to like driving it through salt water, when you visit the beaches on vacation. Hey, I've seen people doing that on car commercials on TV, what can I say?
