If they aren't stainless steel(or polished aluminum) then they will rust.

I had my Mac chrome tailpipes on for about 2 years and I washed the car every couple of weeks and made sure to wash the tailpipes and never had a spec of rust and I drove this through 2 New England winters everyday.

I only got some minor rust on where the hanger was welded to the pipe after I blew the motor and just let the pipes sit on the car for 2 years outside and even then it was just a lil rust.

I have them on and they didn't have any rust as of 2 months ago, I don't think there is any on there now.
