Rusting on exhaust....
I found recently that my exhaust is beginning to rust.... not the mufflers but from a brief peek, I can see the midpipe and the end pipe prior to the muffler is beginning to rust.... anybody have the same situation in GTA??
btw, mine is a 03.5.

It's not uncommon as an OEM stainless systems age, to look rust coloured.
Structurally it should still be sound & last for many years
There are many grades of stainless steel.
409, 388, 304 etc....
Typicaly OEM sytems are lower grade stainless with less chromium in the alloy.
As a result they will show rust sooner than quallity aftermarket systems.
