Default Rusting Remus...

Well, the infamous rusting Remus syndrome struck this weekend. I heard a loud vibration coming from the muffler and upon close inspection the weld where the pipe enters the muffler (inlet) has rusted through. Archive search indicates that this seems to be an issue with Remus. I've had the muffler for 4 years - the warranty is three years. Kinda sux for a $450 muffler (esp vis-a-vis Borla's million mile warranty for a complete $650 system).

Gotta decide what to replace it with now....
