What do the people with aftermarket exhausts do with the old parts? The exhaust is way too big to fit anywhere but the kitchen floor of my house. I have a backyard screen fence thing lol and I put it on the roof of it. For now its staying there. IDK what material our stock exhaust is made of so IDK if it will rust. If it will eventually rust I will probably sell it to a scrape collector though I rather keep it just in case.

The obvious place for me would be my basement or attic. Although not everybody has one so that not always an option lol.

I don't think it will rust... it goes on your car and cars are kept outside.

Yeah that's what I thought but some the bolts and flanges are a bit rusted already so I don't want them to get worst lol

Well i guess you could wrap them up with something to try and keep some of the moisture out. saran wrap? duct tape?

I store my extra stock exhaust Outside in the back yard in the rain and all.

it wont rust, its made out of stainless.
think about it, it sits underneath your car, where rain, sand, mud, dirt, grass, water, ice, salt gets to it.

^I thought the same thing but the rusted and seized bolts is what made me worry. I wrapped those parts in plastic bags but know i wish i used saran wrap aahaha

In the rafters above your garage. Ive still got an OEM integra exhaust up there but no integra. haha

Of course exhausts will rust - often from the inside out. The bolts and brackets aren't stainless so they'll rust in any case so you should remove any extra brackets before you store it.

The trick will be getting and keeping moisture out of the exhaust.

I'd try to find a nice dry spot to get it dried out. When you think it is dry then stuff (and seal) some desiccant in either end and leave it for a week. Take it out and replace with fresh desiccant, seal it up real well and wrap the whole thing in that industrial strength saran wrap rolls that are used for wrapping boxes.

Then, put the whole thing in a box and leave it in a protected area.

right, the bolts and fasteners are not stainless.

wd-40 would protect from rust/

Mr. TTL

Coat the parts in WD-40 or penetrating oil and then wrap them in Saran Wrap. Should keep them from rusting any further.
