thats pretty normal for an exhaust...they are exposed to water and moisture 100% of the time so its bound to happen...just as long as there is no rust eating holes in anything u r fine

Its not a problem. Its normal. If you dont like it clean it up of any dirt and loose debris and get some high temp BBQ paint or engine paint in black and paint it.

I did the same thing! High heat flat black rust o leum will take care of that rusty pipe! From the back, all you can really see are my nice chrome shiny tips since the black pipe now blends into the shadow of the car!!

Yup, I touched up my mufflers too. I also spray them with Son of a Gun for a light gloss. The 3A tips really make the ass look great. Here is what mine looks like
