Message	Aluminized piping absolutely will rust, and it really doesnt take that long to do it either. while it may take 10 years to rust to unusable, it will look like crap after 6 months. stainless will last forever if nothing out of the ordinary water/salt/exhaust happens to it Antihero These 2530's ain't half bad ;)
