Default Should a used Milltek exhaust look like this?

Here's the pick, and a link for a high res.

What are your thoughts? Do all Milltek exhausts end up looking like this?<ul><li><a href="http://pictureposter.allbrand.nu/pictures/reefer_bob/Milltek_Back.jpg">High Res. Picture</a></li></ul>

Default Hmmm.. looks a little used but you can always sand the rust off or get some good metal polish....

It should look like new after you clean it up.

Default You'll probably need new clamps for the catback.

each of the 3 sections uses thin bandclamps and they don't stand up very well to salt.

Default Looks fairly normal, and I would echo sj6sp's suggestion.

Get new clamps, and also get new clamps where it bolts up to your OEM downpipes. Those will tend to rust up as well (well, maybe not for the Californians).
