What part of NC are you in?

We didn't get much salt in Raleigh but mine is still fine.

Greensboro area. The first 2 times they salted the road with a white spray I really didn't notice too much damage. The 3rd go-round they put out this brown rock salt that ate the hell out of it.

Just an FYI, all "titanium" parts are titanium alloys, nothing is hardly ever made from pure titanium, the alloys are commonly accepted as "titanium" throughout the industry because of the nature of its characteristics

I figured, but was skeptical about saying that as I couldn't be certain.

Trouble with "Knock Offs!"

That Amuse exhaust is to pretty to install under any car.... Are you
waiting until spring to install.....I would! For that HKS knock-off exhaust
wipe it down with something (WD-40) to get rid of the rust.....that sucks!

It's installed already, and has been through some snow and salt. It washed out fine so far

That must of been some crazy salt if it rusted your nismo license plate. If you cant get a refuund you should just order some HKS titaniu tips for like 200 and paint your exhaust in high heat barbeque spray paint (black) It will resist rust then.
